It's not clear why a second tram from the batch of thirty was selected for a photograph as they were all identical, but here is 17.
As they were quite young when withdrawn, several of the batch were sold for further service with five going to Falkirk and four going to Lytham St. Annes. The trucks and electrical equipment off the others passed to City of Hull Tramways and the trucks were fitted under double-deck trams in that fleet. That included some of the trams sold to Leeds in 1942-45.
