On board: "Tram - Poppy Game side 2/9/97"; on front elevation of tram: "STARR GATE via Sandcastle and Pleasure Beach" as the destination and "Be a £50,000 Poppy Game winner!" on the front right hand side of the tram below the window; on side elevation of tram: at the top "Win £50,000 instantly with the Poppy Game! Available from Post Offices, CIU Clubs, Littlewoods Collectors, and retail outlets", and below the passenger windows "20p in each £1 goes to the Poppy Appeal! Free extra £20,000 draw with every ticket!".

Inscription description:

The single deck tram is decorated to advertise the Poppy Game and promote awareness of the Royal British Legion. The tram colours are red, white and blue to represent the flag of the United Kingdom, the tram windows are mostly black with a grey scale to white, poppy flower heads appear to be sprayed onto the trams, and the print appears in a variety of font sizes mostly in either white or red. The Royal British Legion hallmark is located at both ends of the tram on the side elevation, and the poppy game appears to be a scratchcard in association with "LOTTO" that features four times on the side elevation and once on the front elevation of the tram. The elevations of the tram are depicted on a track represented by a horizontal black line, and the logo "LITTLEWOODS LOTTO" appears twice on the side elevation of the tram. Note: the logo appears colourful and the "W" appears in blue with extended lines upwards from the second and third upward points on the letter. The logo also appears on each of the scratchcards shown. Note: some elements of the scratchcards appear to be embossed, in particular the word "POPPY" has the outline of the letters embossed; however, a poppy flower head replaces the letter "O" and only the centre of the poppy appears embossed.

Inscription description:

The print appears in white with the first punctuation mark appearing as a filled in number 6 and the second as a filled in number 9. The label is a horizontal rectangle in shape, with the bottom left hand corner curved, and is split horizontally into two sections. The top section has a red background and is slightly larger than the second section that has a purple background and features the print.
