Comments Apart from the Plymouth, Devonport and District Tramways Company, whose steam services lasted just over a month before liquidation intervened, the Swansea Constitution Hill Tramway Co Ltd was probably next in line for the title of the most unsuccessful British tramway.

Staff appear to have been issued with caps (see link), and may possibly have worn full uniforms; buttons are however yet come to light (unsurprisingly), suggesting that they were either unmarked, or that they bore a design which is not readily identifiable as an issue of the company (e.g. a monogram).
