Opis

With the twentieth century arrived the first electric tramcars in London. Thirty years later the first trolley buses arrived - along with a fleet of trams that were the most modern of their day. First published in 1971, this is a study of this period, relating the development of the tramway and trolleybus system to the changing social background.
