Arguably the last of the 'traditional' tramways to operate in Britain,
Dundee's fleet of some 56 trams were to survive through until the
mid-1950s when - despite considerable opposition - this popular form of
transport was replaced by bus. The final Dundee trams operated in
October 1956. - The Lost Tramways of Scotland series documents the tram
networks which were at the heart of many of Britain's growing towns and
cities from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. - Transport
expert Peter Waller, author of numerous works on the regional tram
systems of the UK, guides the reader along the route of the network and
discusses its key features stop by stop. - As well as rigorously
detailed transport history, these volumes provide an intimate glimpse
into life as it was lived during this period, and the recognisable
streets which have been maintained or transformed through the decades. -
An informative, accessible and portable resource for the tram enthusiast
as well as the general reader, and a superb souvenir or gift for
visitors past and present. - Photo illustrated throughout, including
many archive images which are appearing in print for the first time.
