When the authors started assembling suitable illustrations for this new publication they knew a great deal about many existing images but both were absolutely delighted when offers of new material came in from various sources. Virtually all the systems which survived after 1945 - and even some pre-war ones - are seen in colour. The systems are featured in order of closure and every effort has been made to include previously unpublished images. The work of the major early colour photographers is also recognised. Wherever possible, the authors have selected images depicting the fascinating range of car types in each fleet. They also set out to show trams in a rich variety of settings including bustling city centres, suburban streets, windy hillsides, leafy suburbs, industrial neighbourhoods, rural backwaters, steep gradients and cross-country reserved tracks.
