Often little known and generally unfamiliar to the passengers that
used tramways, works trams were an essential facet of the efficient
operation of any system - large or small - and this book is a
primarily pictorial overview of the great variety of works trams
that served the first generation of tramways in the British Isles.
Although construction of most tramways was left to the contractor
employed on the work, once this was completed the responsibility
for the maintenance and safe operation of the system fell on the
operator. The larger the operator, the greater and more varied the
fleet of works cars employed; specialist vehicles were constructed
for specific duties. Smaller operators, however, did not have this
luxury, relying instead on one or two dedicated works cars or, more
often, a passenger car temporarily assigned to that work. This book
is a pictorial survey to the many weird and wonderful works cars
that once graced Britain's first generation tramways.
