Help me out chaps, flitting through the forum within the last few days, I came across information about a book (written by a lifer????) about trams and trolleybuses in south London. I seem to remember the title mentioned ‘wires above’ or some such.
For the life of me I can’t find the original thread. It would be a great present for someone I know.
Thanks.

    Reckon @GlassHalfFull will know.
    He posted an extract from a trams book in December 2014 to cheer up march51 in hospital at the time.

  • The book is a recent one and is called Wires Above South East London subtitled Woolwich to Gravesend by Tram and Trolleybus. The author Robert J Harley has written many transport books, with London trams being his absolute speciality. The book is published by Heathfield Publishing. Details also available from Capital Transport.

  • I'm not usually a reactionary 'bring it back!' type, except in this instance. Bring them all back

    Is he anything to J R Hartley , the fine author of books on fly fishing

  • No - nor does he make fancy motorbikes! This book is hardcore - strictly for connoisseurs.

    Anyone interested in the Dec 2014 stuff - search tramista
