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:
“Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
