Seaton Tramway

The Tramway at Seaton is a remarkable tribute to one man's expertise and enthusiasm which are maintained by the present regime.

It is also unique - no other seaside resort in the UK can boast a three-mile custom-built narrow gauge tramway which links three communities and which passes through delightful rural scenery along the way.

This DVD takes an affectionate look at the Seaton Tramway, its history, the people who run it and its day-to-day operation. So climb aboard and enjoy the ride!

The Seaton Tramway must be one of the most unusual tram lines in the country - it keeps moving!

The story starts in an electrical factory in Barnet, North London, where a Mr. Claude Lane was making electric vehicles, like milk floats.

He built a very large model tram there and soon took it around to fairs and amusement parks.

With a second tram he took them and the track etc. to Rhyl in North Wales and to Hastings during summer seasons.

They proved to be very popular and a permanent tramway was set up at Eastbourne, Sussex.

This opened in 1954 and extended in 1955 - 1958. Most of the tramcars now in use were built there.

The next move was to its present home - at Seaton.

The Seaton branch railway line was to close and it would make a very attractive tramway with its views across the River Axe - the natural history background - and leading to two lovely villages at Colyford and Colyton.

There the tramway has operated for over 20 years.

This DVD starts with scenes at Hastings then moves onto the Eastbourne times.

Through films provided by Ken Thorpe, the story of the construction and developments of the tramway is told, the track building, bridge repairing and all the other slogging jobs that volunteers and staff had to perform.

Their reward was when the first battery-powered runs took place.

Later the overhead wires went up and an extension to Colyton opened.

This DVD, like all the others in the Online range, has been filmed over very many years and has been produced by television and sound professionals.
