Trams at the Seaton Tramway's Colyton station, as filmed in the 1990s (with a little extra footage from 2007)
Located in the English county of Devon, Colyton is the northernmost station on the Seaton Tramway
Much of the route of this 3 mile / 4.8 km narrow gauge (2 ft 9 in / 838 mm) tramway re-uses a former main line railway branch line. The tramway is electrified at 120 volts dc
Colyton station dates from 1868
The trams seen in this film are:
Works tram No. 02.
Seaton No. 7 - built 1958, based on ex-Bournemouth open-top trams which latterly operated in Llandudno & Colwyn Bay.
Seaton No. 14
Former Metropolitan Electric Tramways Type A car 94, an open-top double-deck tramcar that was later enclosed. Built in 1904, withdrawn in 1935. Now heavily rebuilt as a single decker.
Seaton No. 6 - built 1954, heavily rebuilt several times, based on Llandudno & Colwyn Bay No. 6.
Seaton No. 8 - built 1968, based on ex-Bournemouth open-top trams which latterly operated in Llandudno & Colwyn Bay.
Seaton No. 16 - former Bournemouth Corporation Tramways car 106, Built 1921, withdrawn 1936. Originally an open-top double-deck tram, the body was recovered from a Dorset farm, now heavily rebuilt as a single deck tram.
Seaton No. 17 - built 1988, designed to look similar to a Manx Electric Railways 'toastrack' tramcar.
Seaton No. 12 - built 1966, seen here in its 1980 format loosely based upon a Blackpool Balloon tram. In 1999 this tram was modified to look somewhat like a Feltham tram and painted in London Transport style red livery.
Seaton No. 2 - built in 1964, loosely based upon former Metropolitan Electric Tramways Type A trams.
Seaton No. 11 - built 2007, body from Bolton Trams Ltd, all other works done in-house by Seaton Tramway. This tram wears the cream and gold lined livery of Liverpool trams used on a route for 1st class passengers
