Trams in England encompass various tram networks integrated into the public transport system of England. Until 1935, there had been a large and comprehensive network of tram systems in towns and cities.
Most of the country's tram systems were replaced by bus services in the 1930s or shortly after the Second World War. England's tram systems were largely dismantled, and by 1960, only Blackpool Tramway survived.[1][2] Since the 1990s, trams and light rail transportation have become increasingly common again, with a second generation of tram and light rail networks operating in cities and regions such as Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield, London, and the West Midlands.[3]
