    The Friends of the 502 group will be holding an open day this Sunday 18 Nov 2012 11 am till 4 pm.
    Following our successful move to Burscough we have recently commenced some work to investigate the most appropriate methods of proceeding with restoration. As it is nearly six months since the last public access now is an appropriate time to invite viewing of recent developments and our current activities.
    Our intention is to restore the unit to working condition and have it available for public operational use. This will be a ten year programme. As the bodywork has suffered weather effects since 1998 our initial objectives are to stabilise the deterioration and then look at a rolling programme to restore the body shell and interior. The former has been achieved.

    We are based at Merseyside Transport Trust’s premises on Guys Industrial Estate:
    Osprey Close, Burscough, L40 8TG. Access is off A59 via B5242 then turn right after 200m at roundabout, Osprey Place is second on left. Your destination is the large warehouse building which is accessed under the awning to your left. You will receive a warm welcome.
