	Glasgow 1055, ex Liverpool Green Goddess 869, stands outside Newlands depot on the occasion of the LUPTS tour of the Glasgow system on 21 February 1960.   At the time, LUPTS was negotiating to buy the tram but, in the event, it was the successor society, the Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society, which bought the tram some months later.   Photo copyright: Peter Stoddart
	The 'Mersey Docks Railtour' is believed to have been the only steam hauled rail tour ever to take place within the Liverpool Dock system.   MDHB Avonside 0-6-0ST No 1 is seen at the head of its rake of open wagons propelling onto the Canada Dock branch on 8 May 1965.   LUPTS was recently reacquainted with the loco.   Now preserved, and having been on display for many years at Liverpool Museum, it currently resides in the museum reserve, visited by a LUPTS party during the 2002 bus tour weekend.   Photo copyright: John Ryan
	Ex LMS Crab 42942 rests at Liverpool Central at the end of the LUPTS 'Wirral and Mersey Special' on 22 October 1966.   The locomotive, allocated to Birkenhead South, had taken over from Britannia 70004 'William Shakespeare' at Birkenhead for the final leg of the tour.   Photo copyright: Brian Faragher
	LUPTS ran a tour of the connected Manchester and Ashton under Lyne trolleybus systems on 12 June 1966.   Towards the end of the tour, Ashton 82 (YTE821), a Bond bodied BUT, waits at Stevenson Square, Manchester, with passengers transferring between it and Manchester 1336 (ONE736), a Burlingham bodied BUT, which was the other trolleybus used for the tour.   Travel from Liverpool was in one of Liverpool's unpainted double deckers - Saunders Roe bodied AEC Regent III A40 (NKD540)     Photo copyright: John Ryan
	Over the years, LUPTS undertook a number of trips to the railway of the White Moss Peat Company in Kirkby.   A feel for the precarious nature of such a trip can be gleaned from this 30 April 1975 Wednesday afternoon visit.   Photo copyright: Tom Kane
	Far distant from its usual haunts, 4-SUB 4650 awaits breaking at Horwich Works on 17 Fenruary 1982.   The LUPTS party on the left, wearing hard hats, includes John Fraser, John Robertson, Nick Richardson and Wendy Smith.   Photo copyright: Online Transport Archive (CCR01514)
