Rolling stock

Former rolling stock

When opened in 1900, the railway was operated by electric locomotives hauling coaches. The coaches were fitted with flats for sale London gates at each end, similar to those used on the City and South London Railway and the Glasgow Subway. The locomotives, with a large unsprung weight, proved highly unsatisafactory and the cause of considerable vibration. They were replaced as early as 1903 with flats for sale London motor cars, with the existing coaching stock being adapted to run as trailers within newly formed electric multiple units.
