LORD ASHFIELD'S TRAMS

Robert Harley is a strong supporter of trams, as is apparent in this account of the run-down that preceded eventual abandonment of the large London tramway system.

Writing in an easy to read style, Dr Harley's extensive research covers not only the story of the trams but also the story of the personalities and circumstances that were to determine their fate.

Covering principally the period of the London Passenger Transport Board, under Lord Ashfield, this book is a companion volume to the author's London Tramway Twilight.
