The car was totally enclosed&nbsp;about 1930, having platform doors fitted and bulkheads removed.&nbsp;96 was cut down to a single decker in 1933 and was used as a stores car and snow plough. The closure of Hull\u2019s tram routes led to 96 being sold with a number of passenger cars to Leeds in 1942-45. Here it ran as stores car number 6, until the closure of Leeds City Tramways in 1959.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"aswift_1\" name=\"aswift_1\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" width=\"619\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/googleads.g.doubleclick.net\/pagead\/ads?client=ca-pub-6526625413097335&amp;output=html&amp;h=280&amp;adk=3972002344&amp;adf=474554036&amp;pi=t.aa~a.193888505~i.5~rp.4&amp;w=619&amp;fwrn=4&amp;fwrnh=100&amp;lmt=1678882763&amp;num_ads=1&amp;rafmt=1&amp;armr=3&amp;sem=mc&amp;pwprc=1029782498&amp;ad_type=text_image&amp;format=619x280&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fhptramway.co.uk%2Fhull-96-leeds-6%2F&amp;fwr=0&amp;pra=3&amp;rh=155&amp;rw=619&amp;rpe=1&amp;resp_fmts=3&amp;wgl=1&amp;fa=27&amp;dt=1678882763476&amp;bpp=3&amp;bdt=5966&amp;idt=3&amp;shv=r20230313&amp;mjsv=m202303060101&amp;ptt=9&amp;saldr=aa&amp;abxe=1&amp;cookie=ID%3Debdd9f07779d402d-22c8375531dc0091%3AT%3D1678626718%3ART%3D1678626718%3AS%3DALNI_MZ8beu3-LQ3y2cSlqsHAEuQHYblWg&amp;gpic=UID%3D00000beb07e9b661%3AT%3D1678626718%3ART%3D1678626718%3AS%3DALNI_MYsgURKuoZiTHShRXGsxkXh7N8Z_w&amp;prev_fmts=0x0&amp;nras=2&amp;correlator=6810399215501&amp;frm=20&amp;pv=1&amp;ga_vid=675274234.1678882762&amp;ga_sid=1678882762&amp;ga_hid=1478675645&amp;ga_fc=0&amp;u_tz=0&amp;u_his=7&amp;u_h=829&amp;u_w=691&amp;u_ah=829&amp;u_aw=691&amp;u_cd=24&amp;u_sd=2.625&amp;dmc=8&amp;adx=36&amp;ady=977&amp;biw=691&amp;bih=702&amp;scr_x=0&amp;scr_y=203&amp;eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759842%2C44777876%2C31072954%2C44774606&amp;oid=2&amp;pvsid=4177382325692180&amp;tmod=49317597&amp;uas=0&amp;nvt=1&amp;ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&amp;fc=1408&amp;brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C691%2C0%2C691%2C702%2C691%2C702&amp;vis=1&amp;rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&amp;abl=NS&amp;fu=128&amp;bc=31&amp;ifi=2&amp;uci=a!2&amp;btvi=1&amp;fsb=1&amp;xpc=Q3N9HoI673&amp;p=https%3A\/\/hptramway.co.uk&amp;dtd=14\" data-google-container-id=\"a!2\" data-google-query-id=\"CKjfp9X13f0CFV2Q0QQdCnQHKg\" data-load-complete=\"true\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; max-width: 100%; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 619px; height: 0px;\">96 was bought by a local enthusiast and stored on the Middleton Railway before being moved near to Wakefield and in 1974 back to Leeds. The MTMS later bought the car, restoring it as a single deck passenger car at Mode Wheel workshops in Salford. 96 Has run at Heaton Park since 1988.\u00a0<\/p><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In 1994 Hull 96 visited the Metrolink depot at Queens Road for&nbsp;its wheels to be re-profiled.
