Strathclyde Traction covers the former Strathclyde Region Council area of the west of Scotland, stretching from the southern end of the Western Highlands to the Southern Uplands, which was formed by merging the city of Glasgow with the counties of Ayr, Bute, Dumbarton, Lanark, Renfrew, Stirling and parts of Argyll. Their logo was carried on the side of some of the trains shown in this book. Using his fantastic collection of photographs, Colin J. Howat explores the fascinating variety of traction that has been seen in this area over the past forty years. Locations featured include closed lines such as High Street to Bridgeton Cross, Balloch Pier and Paisley Canal to Kilmacolm.
