These trams were built by Carris in 1927-8. They were the first of what was to become the Standard Carris car body, having domed roofs and lifting widows which do not fit into roof-pockets. Like the Estrela cars the platforms are level with the saloon floors and they had 737 mm ø wheels. In the 1950’s 536-551 became single-ended for trailer haulage. 532-535 remained double-ended and could work on the steepest slopes.
This class was withdrawn in the 1980’s. 535 and 549 are in the Santo Amaro museum.
