These were standard four-wheel cars built by the workshops for the hilly routes. They had Maley built type 21E swing link trucks, air brakes on the wheels, electro pneumatic brakes on the rails and manual brakes on both the wheels and rails. They were built in 1935 (613-617), 1936/7 (701-725), 1938 (726-730) and 1940 (731-735).
Six cars (701/2/7, 714/9 & 724) were used for Remodelados series 541-585. At least nine trams were retained with the modernisation of the fleet in the mid-1990’s as reserve and for special services: 617 (renumbered to 717), 713, 720/2/3/6 and 732/3/5. The others were sold.
