City & Glenelg Author: Brian Andrews

ISBN: 9780646915302 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 294 Published: 1 May 2014 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 24.0 x 30.0 Description: The story of the MTT's Adelaide to Glenelg tram line has never been told before in such detail. It is the largest and most extensively researched work ever produced on the subject. 'City & Glenelg' begins with the story of the railway operations that served Glenelg which eventually proved inadequate and outdated as reliable transport to serve this outstanding residential suburb and holiday destination. The result was conversion in 1929 to Australia's most-up-to-date electric tram service.

Never before has so much research eventuated in such detail of the concept, construction and operation of this successful electric tram service, operated for 46 years by the Municipal Tramway Trust. Beyond the MTT era the story concludes by showing with great pride the rejuvenation and operation of the tram service today. As South Australian an institution as pie-floaters and Balfour's frog cakes, the Bay Line as it is commonly known, has survived several near-death experiences over the past eighty-five years and now enjoys the status of a tourism icon as well as a highly effective Adelaide transport asset.
