The Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society is one of Britain's best known transport restoration groups, having originally been established back in 1960 by students from Liverpool University, who wanted to save one of the city's famous Green Goddesses then operating in Glasgow.

Since then the society has expanded to include people from all walks of life and gone on to resurrect more than half a dozen tramcars from derelict hulks. Today its collection amply illustrates the development of Britain's first generation tramways from the horse and steam tram era to a fully enclosed electric bogie car. There's also a single deck continental tram and an overhead maintenance wagon from the 1940`s.

If you are interested in vintage transport and have an eye for history then being a member of the society can offer a number of benefits. This also brings free admittance to the National Tramway Museum at Crich in Derbyshire (except for special days); all members receive a lively and informative newsletter four times a year to keep them abreast of any new developments while our handy website is always kept fully up-to-date with the latest news.

The annual Wirral Transport Show is a highlight that attracts visitors from all over Britain.
