Short histories of the origin and development of all the individual lines which together made up London Transport’s railway network are given. There are lists of depots and headcodes and a variety of other interesting features. The 1949 volume on trams and trolleybuses provides accounts of the various independent companies and borough systems which were eventually amalgamated to form the vast London Transport tramways network. Details of the various classes of trams and trolleybuses which were in service at that time and the depots which housed and maintained them are also given. Some of the statistics of the bus fleet are impressive with over four and a half thousand RT double deckers listed, fleet and registration numbers provided for each one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e310 Pages with 150 black \u0026amp; white photographs. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHARDBACK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon't forget when you order from Strathwood we give you a 100% money back no quibble guarantee on your purchase.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crecy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56578748744059,"sku":"9781800353725","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0545\/6471\/6721\/files\/9781800353725.jpg_1.jpg?v=1794498401","url":"https:\/\/strathwood.co.uk\/products\/abc-london-transport-in-the-1950s-railways-buses-coaches-trams-trolleybuses","provider":"https:\/\/www.strathwood.co.uk\/","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
