The primary focus of the society was the arranging and running of spotting excursions.  Although a full list of those that actually took place has yet to be compiled, two provisional lists have been.  These contain a listing of coach excursions that were advertised and can be viewed by clicking below. These are still a work in progress.  Details are given of dates, area visited, code as shown in the magazine and initials of members who are known to have been on the excursion. The first list also gives details of the principal pick up points (all picked up in Manchester) and as a memory jerker, what was number 1 and 2 in the charts at the time.  The second list gives the locations visited.

​

Coach Excursions 1969 - 1981 - includes details of what was number 1 and 2 in the charts at the time.

 

Coach Excursions 1969 -1981 - includes details of locations visited if known.

​

   A list of locomotive depots and principle stabling points during the Northern Counties Transport Society era can be found here.  Yards,  sidings and other locations where just shunting locomotives were outstabled are generally not included in this list.

​

   Please contact the Archivist if you were on any of the excursions where a listing of locations visited isn't given and you are able to provide a list.  Also, if your listing is more precise as to the locations visited particularly with regard to shunting locomotive stabling points, that additional information would be welcomed.   

​

   A start has now been made on adding lists of locomotives actually seen on excursions.  See the Excursion Reports page.  If you are able to provide such lists please contact the Archivist and let him know for which trips you are able to provide a listing.
