Comments The Pontypridd and Rhondda Valley Tramway Company was purchased by the British Electric Traction Company in 1898, but when local authority (Rhondda and Pontypridd Urban District Councils) agreement to extend and electrify the system was not forthcoming, the BETCo eventually sold it to the respective councils.
Photographs of the P&RVTCo are rare, but those that have survived suggest that uniforms were not worn (see link), and that marked buttons therefore never existed.
