Whereas many other Toastracks which ran on the tramway were extended in length, 12 never received this work and so remains as originally designed. Finished in a blue and white livery it is designated a \u201cmuseum car\u201d and sees limited use in service, and we have its last recorded use as being during 2018 (although please correct us if that\u2019s wrong!). It seen here on 8th September 2018 with William providing the horse power.
