Mission Statement
1 The Trust is dedicated to the restoration, preservation and
maintenance in working order of vehicles of the former Darwen
Corporation Transport and of other neighbouring public transport
undertakings and to stimulate public interest in this heritage.
2 It aims to provide a forum for mutual support and benefit of those
actively involved in realising these aims, whether by means of
their privately owned vehicles or of those owned by the Trust.
3 It seeks to hone and perpetuate the specialised driving skills
necessary for such vehicles.
4 It seeks to provide secure covered accommodation for both its own
vehicles and those of its members.
5 It endeavours to take part in the wider preservation movement, by
participation in and support of rallies of preserved vehicles,
museums, and other organisations with similar objectives.
6 It encourages research into the local history of public transport
and to cooperate with other local history groups in matters of
common interest.
7 As a means of ensuring its viability and also of maintaining a
public profile, it makes its vehicles available for active
service, especially for educational and charitable work.
8 Its long-term aspiration is to establish a museum for the
exhibition of its working exhibits and associated objects of
interest.
