Service Fleet
The tramway operates a regular number of cars from each type of class depending on the weather, with the roofed toastracks most often being used; the winter saloons are retained for inclement weather and the fully open toastracks for high summer. A selection of these can usually be seen outside the tramcar depot where they are stored in the summer months.

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or fleet:
“His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
