No. 206 was an ex Leyton Corporation Tramways (LCT) car built in 1931 by English Electric seating 28/46 and running on EMB maximum traction (LCC class 4A) trucks. Up until 1933 it was operated on behalf of LCT by London County Council Tramways (LCC) running in LCC livery but with an LCT monogram on the car waist panels, post 1933 it ran in the standard red and cream LT livery. In Apr 1952 it was withdrawn from service and disposed of (broken up or sold) at the LT Penhall Road Works.
The parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952.
