On the day Nottingham Express Transit named a tram after her, she was offered a free travel after the ceremony, which she accepted. Ironically, when she and her mother boarded the tram the first time, both were thrown out by a conductor who, unaware that she was offered a free travel, accused them of fare evasion. Fortunately, the situation was promptly cleared out. Despite that situation, she had no hard feelings and still wanted to keep her name on the tram for good.
