| | As trams and other light rapid transit systems make a comeback in many British cities this volume, the first of three, looks at all the tramways that have operated in the towns and cities of southern England and the Channel Islands. From the 1870s to the 1950s, trams were a common sight in many British towns. From the pioneering Oystermouth Tramroad of 1807 to the up-to-the-minute systems of Nottingham and Dublin of 2004, this is the definitive directory of the tramway lines and networks of the British Isles. Volume One covers southern England (including Greater London and east Anglia) and the Channel Islands, with tramway systems as far apart as Great Yarmouth and Guernsey. Contents:
