THOSE WHO DROOL over trams may think £1.20 well spent on issue No 37 of Scottish Transport (Scottish Tramway Museum Society, PO Box 78, Glasgow G3 6ER), It commemrates the 20th anniversary of Glasgow's last trams and its 40 pages are crammed with pictures of the beastly things.
People are seen standing in the road, waiting to board, and one wonders how they lived long enough to do so. Wet cobbles between the rails glister in challenge to cyclists. A diary of events in Glasgow passenger transport since 1872 headed "The Shoogle to the West No Morel" records the end on April 4 this year, after 60 years, of a direct connection between Auchenshuggle and Dalmuir West. Even stage drama seldom reaches this emotional pitch.
