Comment Although S&TCT staff clearly wore uniforms (see link), marked buttons are yet to come to light, suggesting that they were either plain, or that they bore a monogram or device that is not readily identifiable as an issue of the tramway. Given that the concern did see fit to have new and elaborate cap badges manufactured, it would seem a little odd if they chose not to order new, marked buttons as well.
