With the twentieth century arrived the first electric tramcars in
London. Thirty years later the first trolley buses arrived - along
with a fleet of new trams that were the most modern of their day.
This era was one of rapid change, rich in achievement adn
personalities. Among the more colourful of the undertakings
involved was London United, which introduced the first public
service of electric tramcars in 1901 adn became one of the
predecessors of the present London Transport. This is a study of
this eventful period, relating the development of the tramway and
trolleybus system to the changing social background. It contains a
wealth of hitherto unpublished material, both factual and
anecdotal, taken from contemporary newspaper and other accounts,
and a remarkable collection of illustrations - 48 pages in all. It
should be of interest not only to the transport enthusiast but also
to the general reader interested in social history. This book was
first published in 1971.
