The Streets of Dundee: Trams and Buses in the 1950s

From the rattle of horse trams in 1877 to the final clang of electric cars in 1956, Dundee’s rich tramway history charts the city’s growth and industrial might. This compelling account explores the transition from steam to electric trams, the competition from emerging bus services, and the vehicles that kept the city moving for decades. Featuring the poetic presence of William McGonagall, landmark expansions to Broughty Ferry, and the post-war influx of London double-deckers, this narrative captures a bygone era of transport innovation and municipal ambition.
