The only Preston-built trams new to Coventry were this batch of five double-deckers new in 1929. However, Coventry Electric Tramways, taken over by the Corporation in 1912, had bought twelve ERTCW cars that were new to Wigan.

The system had two depots, one at Foleshill and this one at Priestley's Bridge, which was by where Stoney Stanton Road crosses the Coventry Canal.

This tram was withdrawn after the sudden closure of the system following bombing raids in 1940. The trams escaped relatively unscathed but the infrastructure suffered terminal damage, taking into account that abandonment was already in progress.
