Let's Ride ... The Seaton Tramway

The Seaton Tramway is a narrow gauge electric tramway in Devon, with a 3 mile route that runs alonside the Axe Estuary between Seaton and Colyton. They invited me down to go behind the scenes, and have a Tram Driving Lesson, getting behind the controls and learning to drive a tram ...

Thanks for visiting Geoff!

We’ll make a tram driver of you yet!

24 hours of backup power for the trams is bloody impressive for being so old, i was expecting him to say 2 hours!

[dougchinn]

Wow...that was fun. Must have been seen as amazing technology in its day. Can't believe some of the trams were built in the 1950's. Thank you Seaton Tramway for maintaining the trams in working condition.

Beer is also home to Peco, one of the UK’s few remaining manufacturers of model railways.

It's been ages since I went down there and rode those trams. The posh stations wasn't a thing then. I do watch them in the webcams and it looks so good, I need a visit. Thanks Geoff.

The fish in beer batter at Colyton stn. changed my mind of fish n chips. Loved the chance to squeeze my fat body up those stairs and see the treetop view. The beach and harbour are worth a look see with the tide moving the sea flora and the sea bird acrobatics.

Two of the things that kept me sane during those dark lockdown days of 2020. Geoff's videos and Seaton's tramathon. Thanks guys.

Love these documentaries. Love seeing Geoff driving a train or tram. Have always enjoyed watching those videos in the past. (I've started watching and following in 2017, I think, but have also gone and watched older videos.)

This has made my day! We go to Seaton for a week every summer and the tramway is always the highlight - we even went twice in a week this year. The cream teas at Colyton station are absolutely amazing!

Hi Geoff, I remember riding the tram way back in the late seventies when our school had school journeys to Devon.

[raycurd]

Brilliant Geoff, I live in Devon and you are bloody lucky to get a dry day, but that’s why it’s so beautiful.

[theundeniablegem]

wow! I visited this tramway as a kid when I was about 7 or 8 years old but I’d mostly forgotten about it until this video came along!
thank you for this video Geoff, you look like you’re having the time of your life which is always a joy to watch!

[marksaddler]

I remember visiting this tramway as a child, thanks for taking me down memory lane Geoff 👍

[garchompenthusiast]

This is a lovely surprise, seeing you visit an attraction in my childhood home!

[Beatlefan]

Visited many times over the years. Friendly staff and a great time. Highly recommended.

[jamesmort]

Did a driving experience day there for my 40th. It was a really great day and welcoming team; thoroughly recommend.

[Mauraxfan]

OMG WE WENT HERE WHEN WE WAS ON HOLIDAY IN DEVON! such great memories 🥰

[MikeJackson]

Well done Geoff. This and Crich are on our list when we get back to the UK late summer next year. Thanks for sharing.

I've done a few on the Manx Electric Railway with air brakes and eight notches series and Parrallel. The Railway was 130 years old this year.

The wild life section! Reminds me of "This week on too late to see!" The cameraman getting a shot of the Animals behind! LoL
