With a spare morning in April I travelled down to Seaton, and the Seaton Tramway. The 2ft 9in narrow gauge tramway runs for 3 miles from the new Seaton terminus to Colyton via Colyford, along the former trackbed of the Seaton to Seaton Junction railway.
With 14 tramcars in total there is a huge operational variety, on the day of my visit double deck car 9 and single deck car 15 were providing the service, with double deck car 11 on a charter. Boarding car 9 at Seaton, we brave the top deck for an open view of the Axe Estuary as we head inland.
With special events throughout the year, there is so much to do for the whole family at Seaton Tramway

I last travelled on this back in 1981 !!! ... Yes, the Seaton terminus is totally different now !!

What a delight! I lived along the coast in Dorset for many years and never went on the tramway. I am now retired in thd Canary islands and doubted I ever would. This video has made it possible.

Thank you very much. Glad I’ve managed to help. There should be a new video from the tramway up now. Filmed in 4K if you happen to be interested 😊

I only remember them at Eastbourne but I forget the gauge. The tight turns are typical tramway but without grooved rail I am surprised at the lack of checkrails on the curves.

The Seaton terminus has changed massively since I was there in October 2007

They’ve done a huge rebuild. The new one is really impressive. Even if it is a little too modern for my own tastes 🤔

I've just watched the trolley reverser in operation at 22:53. Sheffield used them a lot but I never had any success incorporating one in 1:16 scale, let alone 4mm!
