MEMBERS of the Bolton Bus Preservation Group take a wide view of transport matters - their latest event features trains.

The latest in a series of popular transport slide shows is on Monday, October 4, in the St Augustine's Church Crypt, Tonge Moor, Bolton.

It will be given by Steve Leyland, and will feature South African Steam in the '80s and Preserved Mainline Steam around Manchester.

The show starts at 7.30pm and costs £2.50.

Proceeds will go towards the group's on-going preservation work on old Bolton Corporation buses.
