Warsaw, London (Croydon)
and Porto : the most recent photograph series in the Tramscape
Tramway Photograph Database
Tramscape has an extensive
collection of tram photos, nearly all from the camera of Gordon
Stewart, who has travelled extensively to capture trams in both the
centres and little-known suburbs of many of Europe's great tramway
towns and cities from the late 1970s up until the present day.
The photos are primarily intended to illustrate trams in their
environments, the city surroundings, the track alignments and the
tramstops served, to provide a detailed snapshot of tram systems at
given points in time. The aim is to have a record of as much of each route of
the tram system as possible - something not necessarily available from the numerous
other sources of tramway information on the internet. With the ever changing
cityscapes, the photos are becoming an increasingly interesting historical record.
The photos are intended to be attractive pictures in their own right with well-balanced
views of tram and surrounding architecture and street life. No particular attention
is paid to illustrating the specific features of tramcar design other than to
appreciate the cars for what enthusiasts know them to be.
The internet now makes this important collection easily available to
tramway enthusiasts and students throughout the world to complement the large
amount of information available elsewhere on the internet. The Tramscape
photograph catalogue includes dates, tram numbers, photo locations and
direction of view and can be viewed or downloaded from this site in
spreadsheet form to allow you to search for specific
photos or merely browse at your leisure.
Thumbnail size images are available to view on-line for all photos in the catalogue
As it is impossible for Tramscape to provide detailed information about
so many tramway systems, links are provided to external websites :
to those of the tram operators and regional transport unions and those of other enthusiasts who report directly on their local tram
systems. Follow these links for timetable, route and fare information
as well as network maps and news items.

Political and economic changes in Eastern Europe have altered the
