Aside from Glasgow, there were a number of other tramways that served the west of Scotland. These included those that served the towns of Ayr and Kilmarnock, the north and south banks of the Clyde, Balloch, Greenock and Gourock. This book explores the history of these tramways.

In the second volume in the Lost Tramways series to feature Ireland, the history of the trams that served Dublin and its environs are recalled.

At the peak of Britain's first-generation tramways, it was possible to travel by tram all the way from Pier Head at Liverpool to the Pennines in Rochdale by tram. Amongst the chain of tramways that formed these links were the services that operated in Bolton, St Helens, Wigan and the company lines controlled by South Lancashire Tramways. Each of these systems had a fascinating history but all were to suffer greatly as a result of lack of maintenance during and after World War I and from bus competition, with the result that only one - Bolton - survived into the post-World War II era. Locations featured include: Farnworth, Dunscar, Tonge, Horwich, Halliwell, Montserrat, Bury, Huyton, Prescot, Worsley and Leigh. The Lost Tramways series documents the tram networks which were at the heart of many of Britain's growing towns and cities from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. An informative, accessible and portable resource for the tram enthusiast as well as the general reader, and a superb souvenir or gift for visitors past and present.

Although there had been experiments with the use of a new form of transport - the 'trackless tram' (better known as the trolleybus) - during the first decade of the 20th century, it was in June 1911 that Bradford and Leeds became the country's pioneering operators of trolleybuses.

The lines have been drawn. On one side are young earth creationists, who assert that God created the universe in six days and-based on calculations derived from the Bible-that the earth is six thousand years old. On the other side are secular scientists, who claim the universe has existed for over thirteen billion years, the earth for 4.5 billion. Scientists claim that no miracles were necessary to form the universe, and that everything is explained by natural causes. However, young earth creationists point to verses at the beginning of the Bible and the beginning of the book of John that clearly claim that God created the universe. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. John 1:1-3 But what if there is no contradiction between scientific data and the Bible? Arnold Guyot was a nineteenth-century geologist and geographer at Princeton University. In addition to his numerous scientific accomplishments, he developed the day-age interpretation of Genesis 1, in which the "days" of creation represent geologic ages. When we view the Bible through this lens, we find that modern science has not only failed to refute the miracles of Genesis, but has in fact provided abundant evidence for their veracity. Genesis Revealed: A Scientific Examination of the Creation Story takes readers down the twin paths of science and theology to show that they lead us to the same destination. Citing a multitude of discoveries in astronomy and geology, Dr. Peter Waller makes a compelling case for Guyot's interpretation-and for the miracles described in Genesis 1:1-25.

This was the area that witnessed the London United Tramway's early trolleybus routes as well as operations of Croydon Corporation. Although many of the routes were to be converted before the outbreak of war in September 1939, a number were to survive right through until the final conversion of the system between 1950 and 1952.

This is one of four volumes to cover the history of electric tramcar operation in London. Stretching once as far east as Dartford, much of the network south-east of the river survived World War II and remained operational until the process of conversion - 'Operation Tramaway' - commenced in 1950.

This is one of four volumes to cover the history of electric tramcar operation in London; it concentrates on those routes to the north and north-west of the River Thames - an area largely dominated by the Metropolitan Electric Tramways. The bulk of this are saw its tramways largely converted to trolleybus operation during the 1930s.

This is one of four volumes to cover the history of electric tramcar operation in London; concentrating on the routes to the northeast, the system in this area was largely the result of development by a number of local authorities and was converted largely to trolleybus operation in the years leading to 1940.

Lost Tramways of England: Leeds East is the second of two volumes in the series covering the history of trams in thecity. This volume examines the later history of the system, as well as concentrating on routes that served the eastern side of the city, such as those to Temple Newsam, Middleton, Gipton and Hunslet.

The second of two volumes covering the history of tramcar operation in Glasgow. The book narrates the story of the city's impressive network from the immediate post-war years to the early 1960s when the final services were operated. This volume focuses on locations in the northern half of the city.

Edinburgh played host to the country's most significant cable tramway although, by the early 1920s, electric trams had taken over. The system continued to grow until the late 1930s and new trams were built even after World War 2. However, over less than a decade, all were swept away as the final trams operated in 1956.

The first of two volumes covering the history of trams in Leeds from their origins through to the final journeys. This volume examines the early history of the tramways, including the horse, steam and pioneering Roundhay electric trams as well as concentrating on the tramways that served the western side of the city.

By the late 1920s the existing trams operated by both the Metropolitan Electric Tramways and the London United Tramways were increasingly aged.
