Comment This line was unusual in that it was promoted and owned by two Urban District Councils, but was stocked and operated, for its entire life, by a railway company. Given that the tramcars were clearly lettered with 'Liverpool Overhead Railway Company' it would seem highly likely that tramcar staff wore the standard 'LORC' pattern button (see link).
