Comment Following Accrington Corporation's partial take-over of the ACSTCo in September 1907, steam services in Accrington continued to be operated by the company under a contract arrangement. This arrangement ceased on the 31st December 1907, with Haslingden and Rawtenstall Corporations purchasing their share of the company and its assets the next day; as well as operating services within its own municipal boundary, Haslingden Corporation also worked the services through to Rawtenstall.
Haslingden Corporation staff working the steam services were not provided with uniforms (see link).
Following electrification, services were provided by Accrington Corporation (and later Rawtenstall Corporation). Haslingden Corporation did, however, employee a uniformed tramway inspector from late 1908 onwards (my thanks to Phil Calvey for this information), though what buttons the uniform bore, if any, remain unknown.
