Feltham Tram

After experience in passenger service was assessed, the best features of each were combined to form the final design.

[1] In 1932 these were the most modern tramcars in London, with their streamlined appearance and high-horsepower motors they were fast, and seated 64 passengers in comfort – with capacity for another 20 standing on the vestibuled end platforms to cope with rush-hour crowds.

Unusually for London, air brakes were fitted, as well as a pneumatically operated front exit door.

[1] One hundred production Feltham trams were built in total, 54 for the MET and 46 for London United Tramways (LUT), entering service from 1931.

Although substantially the same trams, the LUT Felthams were fitted with different electrical equipment to the MET cars, and lacked plough carriers (required for through services with London County Council Tramways).
