Car 169 is one of a batch of eight cars introduced in 1930 which were used on the North Station to Fleetwood route only. They could not run elsewhere, as they had fixed-head trolleys. The '1' displayed in the side indicator box is not a route number but is an historical survival of an earlier practice whereby North Station cars charged a minimum fare of only 1d. while on Promenade cars it was 2d. These figures applied for the whole route.
