One hundred production trams (which became known as "Feltham trams") followed plus a couple of experimental prototypes. Fifty four were operated by MET and forty-six by London United Tramways [2]. LUT Feltham cars had different electrical equipment.
All trams were passed to London Transport in 1933. Most of the trams survived in service until the end of London tram operation in the early 1950s. Ninety Feltham trams (all production models) were sold to Leeds where they remained in service for a few more years. Three have been preserved including one of the prototypes which was fitted with central doors [3]. This tram, MET 331, was sold to Sunderland in the late 1930s as it was unsuitable for use on conduit lines due to the position of the doors.
