The Liverpool University
Public Transport Society (LUPTS) was formed in 1958
by a group of undergraduate students at the University with a mutual interest
in all kinds of transport. Over the next 33 years, it organised
meetings and afternoon trips, ran tours by rail, bus and tram, published a
number of booklets and was active, locally and nationally, in the enthusiast
world. One of its earliest
projects was the generation of support for the preservation of Glasgow tram
1055, previously Liverpool 869, and this led to the formation of the Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society,
with tram itself eventually passing to the National Tramway Museum at Crich. LUPTS continued as an active student society through the 60s, 70s and 80s but, with declining numbers, was forced to disband in
1991. LUPTS therefore no longer exists
but groups of former members continue to perpetuate its name. It no
longer has any connection with the University
of Liverpool. These web pages have been created to give an
online presence for the exiled Society. |
