The Tramways of Portugal was first published in 1964 and is now on its fifth edition. This latest edition, edited by Brian King & Carl Isgar, has been expanded to include the new installations in Lisboa and Porto. It also provides wider coverage of the trolleybuses, so presenting a comprehensive overview of electric street traction in Portugal. Maps of tramway systems and fleet lists accompany the detailed content.
The chapters have been authored by a team of distinguished tramway experts from Portugal, the UK and The Netherlands and the photographic content includes many previously unseen views. All of this has resulted in a considerable increase in the number of pages, from 34 pages in the first edition and 92 in the fourth edition, to an impressive 328 in this one. A4 in size, it provides a detailed review of what continues to be a fascinating country for the transport enthusiast.
400+ colour and black & white photographs and 57 maps. 328 pages.
