Comment The name of the municipal undertaking is thought to have been changed to Great Yarmouth Corporation Transport in the early 1930s; tramcars however always bore the legend Great Yarmouth Corporation Tramways, suggesting that the corporation was content to keep things as they were until the last trams finished running. It therefore seems likely that tramwaymen never wore uniforms bearing Great Yarmouth Corporation Transport buttons.
