Comment Although it is unclear when Grimsby Corporation Transport came into being, the fact that the tramcars remained emblazoned with 'Grimsby Corporation Tramways' to the end, suggests that tramwaymen did not switch to uniforms bearing 'Grimsby Corporation Transport' buttons until after the demise of the tramway.
