Lost Tramways of Scotland: Glasgow North
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, when the system was regarded as one of the most secure in the country, through the 1950s, when a change of policy initially saw a limited conversion policy instituted before complete abandonment was adopted, to the early 1960s when the final services were operated. This volume focuses on locations in the northern half of the city including City Centre, Clydebank, University and Keppochhill Road.
Brought up in Bradford, Peter Waller grew up witnessing the gradual decline of the city's trolleybus network. His first book, British and Irish Tramway Systems since 1945, was published in 1992 and since then he has written extensively on trans-port subjects. Moving to Shropshire in 2007, he is now a full-time author and editor and well as being a director and secretary of the Online Transport Archive and a committee member of the National Railway Heritage Awards.
