Button description It is likely that the uniform buttons were plain
Comment Photographs taken during the gas-tram era (see link) clearly show that staff wore fairly standard tramway uniforms; given that marked buttons are unknown, it seems more than likely that they bore plain buttons.
Neath was one of only three systems in the UK to regularly operate gas trams, the others being Blackpool, St Anne's and Lytham Tramways (1896-1903) and Trafford Park Tramways (1897-1908).
