The Tramcar will Return

Electric tramways were integral to urban life in the early twentieth century, serving as vital transportation for school, work, shopping, and leisure activities. However, the rise of cars led to their decline. The emotional farewell to the last Glasgow tram in 1962, attended by a quarter of a million people despite the rain, highlights the deep connection communities had with this mode of transport. This book explores the cultural significance and nostalgia surrounding trams in the face of changing urban landscapes.
