BIRMINGHAM CORPORATION TRANSPORT 1904-1939

Second of two volumes covering the history of municipal operation from the first Corporation tram routes of 1906 through to the take-over by West Midlands PTE at the end of 1969, the author examines the development of the Corporation's tramways from the earliest days, through the expansion of the period up to 1930 and the gradual conversion of the 1930s. Also covered is Birmingham's pioneering work with the trolleybus and the growth of the municipal bus fleet. The book covers not only the vehicles operated but also the routes over which they ran and the depots. B/w photos.
