Seaton Tramway
The Seaton Tramway is a 2 ft 9 in (838 mm) narrow gauge electric tramway. The 3 mile (4.8 km) route runs through the Ax East Devon valley, between the seaside resort of Seaton, the village of Colyford and the ancient town of Colyton.
It operates part of the former Seaton branch line, which closed in March 1966. The tramway was established in 1970 by Claude Lane, founder of Modern Electric Tramways Ltd, who had previously operated Eastbourne from 1954 to 1969.
Fourteen trams are part of the visitor attraction, which is visited by approximately 80,000 visitors annually. All tramcars are based on classic British designs and vary in size between half scale (1:2) and two thirds (2:3). The coach was built from the ground up by Claude Lane or his successor Allan Gardner. The three coaches were converted from a full size coach that originally ran in London, Bournemouth and Exeter.
