Amsterdam Trams - From Horse Car to Combino

This new work tells the story of the Amsterdam network right up to the present day with a wide range of topics covered in depth. From the electrification of the horse tramways through the transfer to municipal ownership and the closely-fought battles to retain trams in the 1950s and 60s to the Lijnen voor Morgen report that transformed the system into a model for other cities to follow. Also contains a detailed description of all the tram routes and the wide variety of rolling stock used over the years, along with numerous detailed maps and a rich variety of previously-unpublished pictures. 264 pages A4 softback.
