AMTUIR - Urban Transport Museum
The AMTUIR is responsible for a collection of over one hundred and fifty vintage vehicles. They are maintained and repaired for public display and to provide income through their hire for special events. Tramcars are actively being restored with the eventual aim of having a historic streetcar line.

Boston Lodge Engineering
Glasgow tram No.488 will be restored by craftsmen at the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways Boston Lodge Engineering Works. The executors of Peter Mitchell's estate selected the railway to carry out restoration work following its acclaimed work on London Transport Museum's Metropolitan Jubilee Carriage 353.

Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways
With no viewing facilities to see restoration work on Glasgow tram 488 available, a visit to the area should include riding on the Ffestiniog Railway's 13½ mile line from the harbour in Porthmadog to the slate-quarrying town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Alternatively visit the The Welsh Highland Railway which is Snowdonia's newest railway. Trains start a spectacular 25 mile scenic journey from beneath the castle walls at Caernarfon.

East Anglia Transport Museum
This web site provides all the information needed to plan a visit to the museum which is situated just a couple of miles from Lowestoft in Suffolk. The museum's collection of vehicles includes vintage trans from Blackpool, Lowestoft, London and Amsterdam. In 2016 a Glasgow 'Standard' #488 will join the fleet following restoration work at Boston Lodge Works in North Wales.

Historic journeys can be made by tram from the Museum's Chapel Road Terminus travelling over rails laid into the custom built road network before swinging into a reservation leading to the Hedley Grove terminus.

The museum has brought together relevant items of street furniture that includes post boxes, phone kiosks and street lamps to show the vehicles operating in an environment that is both interesting and appropriate.

News for the Museum is now to be found on their Facebook Page

Preserved London Trolleybus 796
This trolleybus is owned by the Paris Transport Museum [AMTUIR] but in recent years had not been on display to the public. Accordingly an approach was made to AMTUIR to see if they were prepared to put 796 on a ten year loan agreement to the LTPS, whose operating premises are at the East Anglia Transport Museum at Carlton Colville.

After lengthy negotiations this was agreed and the vehicle returned to UK soil almost 50 years to the day from its departure. Restored to working order, it is often see out on duty at the museum.
