The Metropolitan Electric Tramways car with centre entrance, No 331, was thoroughly modern car for its time around 1931. Although the centre entrance was not adopted, the Feltham car was produced in large numbers for both the M.E.T. and the London United Tramways. Before the London tramways were replaced by buses in 1952, some 90 of them were sold to Leeds, where most ran until the final abandonment in that city in 1959. It is a great pity that no example of the standard Feltham, with end entrances, is available to be ridden by the British public, but two examples do survive: No. 355 in the Acton store of the London Transport Museum LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) and another, No. 2085 in the USA at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Maine LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link )
