Stored Fleet
In addition to the regularly used trams, there are a number of cars that see little use but are kept in the sheds adjacent to the station; these cars are in a number of styles and are maintained to a high standard by the staff but see very rare outings along the promenade, being out of favour compared to the fleet which carry advertising boards along their lengths.
- No. 12 - open toastrack with lamp standards on ends and large fleet numbers
- No. 33 - roofed toastrack, in regular operation but carrying no advertisements
- No. 34 - roofed toastrack, in regular operation but carrying no advertisements
- No. 39 - "long" (extended) open toastrack, currently carries no advertising panels
- No. 42 - "long" (extended) open toastrack, complete with ornate hanging lamps on bulkheads, no adverts

Famous quotes containing the words stored and/or fleet:
“The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.”
—Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
