I was given a copy of the book by Oliver Green, 'Rails in the Road' as a Christmas present. The link below is to a review of the book.
It is a large, coffee-table-sized book with a price tag of £30.00. It is illustrated throughout with high quality contemporary images. The story of the tram in the UK is well written and it seems to me that the author shows a good understanding of the underlying social issues which surrounded public transport throughout the decades of the late 19th, the 20th and the 21st centuries. Oliver Green was Head Curator of the London Transport Museum and now acts in a consultative capacity to a number of transport museums.

Thank you rogerfarnworth for the information.
As tramways in the UK are one of my (many) interests the book is on order.
