In 1933 its ownership transferred to the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) and in Nov 1938 it had driver screens (platform vestibules) fitted. It was still in passenger service when the parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed on 5 Jul 1952, in November it was sent to Penhall Road Works to be disposed of (broken up or sold).
