Our origins are rooted in the Lancastrian Transport Group, established back in 1983. Over the years the collection has become highly focused on the preservation of public transport vehicles from the Fylde coast, embracing the fleets of the former Blackpool Corporation, Fylde Borough Transport, Lytham St. Annes Transport and Ribble Motor Services.

Nevertheless the collection also includes vehicles that originated in other parts of Lancashire, and further afield, from areas where Blackpool draws many tourists. The expanding collection resulted in the conversion of the Group into the Lancastrian Transport Trust in 1996 and then in May 2000 the Trust was granted charitable status by the UK Charity Commission, thus affording LTT access to a range of benefits and development opportunities.

Today, we are supported by Blackpool Borough Council and the Blackpool Challenge Partnership. This has allowed the collection to be moved to secure, undercover commercial premises in Blackpool that will facilitate significant progress with vehicle restoration.

We are working towards an ambitious Development Plan with the Council that will hopefully culminate in our collection being displayed in an exciting visitor attraction in the resort in future years - see Blackpool Story document. 

Membership is available through TransSupport, a subscription based organisation. Members receive a quarterly magazine, InTrust, that outlines the Trust's activities and recent Trust-related events.
