29 October 1891 was a day of major significance both for Leeds and for the development of electricity as a power source for public transport when on that day the first vehicles in Europe to receive current through a roof mounted collector from an overhead supply wire operated from Sheepscar to Oakwood, at that time the entrance to Roundhay Park. Full public service started on 10 November 1891 and was continued successfully until 31 July 1896. This book is published as my personal commemoration of the centenary of that event, a hundred years during which developments have reached a point beyond the wildest imagination of those present on the day. Leeds was a fast growing town with a great civic pride at the time the tramcar began to spread over Great Britain. No civic decisions of that time had a more profound effect on the city than the introduction of horse drawn trams by the Leeds Tramways Company in 1871, the subsequent purchase of the system by the Corporation in 1894 (the year after incorporation as a city) and its electrification from 1897 to 1902. As well as the very important event already referred to Leeds also scored firsts with the Maley combined electro-magnetic and mechanical track brake in 1907 and with trackless trams (trolley buses) in 1911. The city was also very early in the field with motor buses (1906), reserved tracks (1922), roller bearings and air brakes (1926) and modern high speed cars (1933). I have therefore attempted to produce a compact history of the city's street rail transport, not ignoring the growth of the buses which ultimately replaced the trams in 1959, and to relate it to the general history of the city, especially to housing development on which the early electric tram system had a profound effect. A very different picture is to be seen in many European cities where the principles recommended for Leeds in 1944-50 were adopted and very modern rail systems have developed. There is now increasing interest in similar new developments in America and Great Britain and it seems a pity that Leeds missed the opportunity to repeat its great pioneering role of 1897-1906. In piecing together during 1968 that part of the story up to 1940 which I did not witness personally I have examined the Annual Reports of the Tramways and later Transport Committee to the Leeds City Council and various other volumes in the Local History Section of Leeds Public Library and must acknowledge the help of the staff in that section at the time in bringing out and putting away so many heavy volumes. I must also particularly acknowledge the assistance afforded at the same period by Mr. J. R. Blakeborough in allowing me to examine the tramcar records retained by Leeds City Transport as well as the photographs and negatives in their possession. Prints of some of these and also some from the Yorkshire Post and Leeds City Library collections are included and I acknowledge their courtesy in giving permission for their reproduction.

This title was first published in 2003. Suburbanizing the Masses examines how collective forms of transport have contributed to the spatial and social evolution of towns and cities in various countries since the mid nineteenth century. Divided into two sections, the volume develops first the classic tradition on transport and the city, public transport's 'impact' on urban development. The contextualisation of transport is one important factor in the historical debates surrounding urban development. As well as analysing the discourse employed by urban political and business elites in favour of public transport, these contributions show the degree to which practice often fell short of ideals. The second section tackles the professional paradigms of urban transport: the circulation of traffic in cities and the technological modes appropriate to its realization. In particular these contributions explore the paradigms held by professional planners and managers, and the political classes associated with them. From a variety of perspectives Suburbanizing the Masses demonstrates the continuing relevance of socio-historical inquiry on the relationship between public transport and urban development. By differentiating between the many roles of urban transport in the nineteenth century, it confirms that public transport was not directly linked to urban growth, and instead often had only a limited effect on the wider urban structure. Suburbanizing the Masses forces a reassessment of the received historiography that maintains cheap public transport was essential to the spectacular growth of cites in the nineteenth century.
