These uniforms were introduced for tram crews on the new Z class trams that entered service from 1975. These trams were painted in a distinctive orange and cream livery with brown coloured internal fittings. In the following years, some buses were also painted in orange and cream. These uniforms marked a significant departure from the design and colour of the navy blue male uniform which had been standard for over 50 years, and the dark brown female uniform standard from the early 1940s. More examples can be seen in item 8513.
