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 With many previously unpublished photographs and detail on the vehicles and routes themselves, there is even a chapter on the colorful pirate buses which competed against trams in the 1920s.
