Like most European countries, Belgium's main towns and cities developed their own tramway networks. Those that survive today include Brussels, Gent, Antwerpen and Charleroi. In the 1960s both French-speaking Liege and Verviers lost their tramways, though there is a desire in Liege to see it return. In addition to the city systems, there was a rural network of mainly metre gauge tramways throughout the country known as the Vicinal. Tony Martens, though born in Belgium, lived in the UK for most of his life, but started revisiting the country in the 1960s, photographing most of the surviving operations. John Law's first visit to the country was in 1971, accompanying Tony in Brussels, where the last of the Vicinal routes were still operating and four-wheeled trams were running on the city streets. John has been returning to Belgium on a regular basis ever since. Sadly, Tony Martens passed away in early 2019. Fortunately, John Law was able to gain access to Tony's slide collection and, along with his own photographic work, has tapped into this archive to bring you a photographic history of Belgium's trams and trolleybuses from the mid-1960s to the present day.

Though British Rail had dispensed with steam locomotives by 1968, the greatest changes to the capital's railways occurred afterwards. In the early years of the 1970s much of the network was run down and some parts not expected to survive. Non-corridor passenger stock, all painted in drab blue, dominated suburban services. Inter-city routes had loco-hauled stock in blue and grey. Many lines were still controlled by semaphore signals. Much needed investment came in the form of electrification, with, for example, the Great Northern route. The famous InterCity 125 became the standard train for the longer distance services. Over the last fifty years London has seen great changes in its railway network. Some lines have closed, like Broad Street, but when this has occurred it is usually to facilitate improvements nearby. New rolling stock has transformed passenger services - who would have thought that five-car trains would be running on a rejuvenated North London Line, once the haunt of the old class 501 units?John Law has been living in the South East since 1970, with much of his time spent working on the railway. He took an enormous amount of photographs over those years, sometimes in places inaccessible to the public. In this book he takes us to the major terminals, the far-flung branches and the many depots. He shows us vanished scenes and the latest developments, including those on the London Underground and the Dockland Light Railway.
