Comments The Isle of Man Tramways and Electric Power Co Ltd also owned the Snaefell Mountain Railway, the Douglas and Laxey Coast Electric Tramway and the Douglas Bay Tramway, the latter also being purchased by Douglas Corporation following liquidation of the 'IoMT&EPCoLtd'. Photos of staff working the cable tramway, clearly show uniforms were not worn
In the absence of specific 'tramway' or indeed 'transport' pattern buttons, it would appear that the corporation used this untitled button for all its services, including both its tramways.
