Description: A Marker Production for Channel Four writted and presented by Kerry Hamilton. Looks at the growth of the transport network and in particular the arrival of trams from horse drawn to the decline of the tramways. Features Glasgow, Middleton and Liverpool and makes comparisons with the trams used on the Continent. Makes a case for trams as a low cost efficient public transport and the government's short-sightedness in getting rid of them. Lots of archive footage.
