No. 2003 was an ex London County Council Tramways (LCC) unvestibuled E/3 class car built in 1930 by Hurst Nelson seating 28/46 and running on Electric-Magnetic Brake Co. (EMB) class 4A.LCC maximum traction trucks. It was built to replace old A and D class cars and work the Kingsway Subway services (after it was deepened to allow double deck cars it reopened Jan 1931), as well as its normal destination blinds it had an illuminated sign showing 'via KINGSWAY SUBWAY', when on non subway routes this was covered over. From new it was fitted with two trolley poles and a truck mounted plough carrier for running off overhead or conduit (as in this photo), and in 1931 it went into Charlton Works to be made full enclosed by having vestibules/driver screens fitted.

Its ownership transferred to the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) in 1933 and it worked for them until the parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952. The following month it was handed over to a demolition contractor at Penhall Road Disposal Depot to be broken up,
