520 Today pollution-free transport is high on the political
agenda, yet it is sometimes forgotten that electric
vehicles ran on the streets of London from the early 1900s
until 1962. This book tells the story of that period and
describes both the vehicles themselves and the effect they
had on the development of the suburbs. Local historian
David Berguer has endeavored to paint a picture of what
life was like in the capital during this golden age,
traveling and working on the trams and trolleybuses, and
includes material based on newspaper reports, council, and
official minutes and oral histories from those involved.
With many previously unpublished photographs and detail on
the vehicles and routes themselves, there is even a
chapter on the colorful pirate buses which competed
against trams in the 1920s.
