Funicular / Incline Books

The Definitive Guide to Trams (Including Funiculars) in the British Isles. David Voice. Adam Gordon, 2005. ISBN 1-874422-48-6

This is the latest book and covers all the funiculars very well, however this book also covers trams and is a must if you are interested in any of these subjects. This excellent book covers tramways and preserved trams, is well illustrated and very well researched, well worth the £20 price.

Funicular Railways. John Woodhams. Shire, 1989. ISBN 0-7478-0040-5

A good guide but now a bit dated and does not include all the modern funiculars but has good sections on inclines and the theory of inclines and funiculars, urgently needs updating.
