**************************************************************************
Collectors of our titles focussing (for the most part) on Blackpool and the Fylde coast's transport history are reminded that previous titles in the decade series 1930s (Municipal Transport in Transition), 1940s (Municipal Transport in War and Austerity), 1950s (Municipal Transport Heyday) are still available from our online shop - although the Heyday title is now down to the last few copies. The 1910 - 1919 era will be covered next (early 2019). And for those wanting more travel along Blackpool's Memory Lane -
the story of Marton's trams remains ever popular in a second expanded 2018 edition.
