The electric tramcar is easily forgotten in these days of carbon monoxide and traffic jams. From the late 1890?s British towns and cities were served by a reliable clean, fast and remarkably cheap form of transport. This book records the development of the electric tramways of Britain from the first trolley-line at Leeds in 1892 to the closure of the 1960?s. The author has selected photographs which show a wide cross-section of tramways, and illustrate the development of tramcar design from the early days to the latest streamlined models, the electricity supply systems, wartime restrictions, and urban services. There is also a list of opening and closing dates, and gauges, of all British electric tramways.
