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. |
