Modern Tramway
Modern Tramway
was launched by the Light Railway Transport League (LRTL) in 1938, but until
1962 was only available to members . Consequently
older issues can be quite difficult to find.
Early issues used an A4 format but by 1949 a much smaller format was
adopted. From January 1962 the
periodical was renamed Modern Tramway and Light Railway Review and
produced jointly by Ian Allan and the LRTL.
In January 1974 the name was changed again to Modern Tramway and Rapid
Transport Review then in January 1975 to Modern Tramway and Rapid
Transport Review, in January 1977 to Modern Tramway and Light Rapid
Transit and in April 1980 to Modern Tramway and Light Rail
Transit. Finally in January
1990 the large format abandoned some 40 years earlier was readopted and the name
was changed to Light Rail and Modern Tramway.
Meanwhile the LRTL had become the Light Rail Transit Association (LRTA).
The following bound volumes are all from the collection of a single life-long tram enthusiast and are bound in either maroon or red cloth with gold lettering. Early volumes contain collections of individual issues bound together, while later volumes consist of complete bound volumes for individual years.
