For Information in English see below : -
Le Tramway Historique de Seaton - Le trajet en cabine avec les commentaires de John le conducteur du train plus quelques vues de l’intérieur du hangar.
Le Tramway Historique de Seaton dans le Devon(UK) longe l’estuaire de la rivière Axe donnant accès à deux réserves naturelles : le marais de Seaton et les terres de Colyford. On peut faire des parcours à ravir les ornithologues car l’observation des oiseaux est l’une des spécialités de ce Tramway sous la bienveillance et la direction des experts de Axe Vale & de la Société pour la Conservation des Terres qui connaissent bien l’estuaire.
Il y a à l’heure actuelle 14 voitures roulant sur un calibre de 838mm. Ce sont des engins à des échelles différentes variant de moitié au 2/3 - quelques-uns sont de grandeur normal mais modifiés pour rouler sur des rails de 838mm.
Une visite au Tramway de Seaton est une façon intéressante et distrayante de passer une journée avec beaucoup de choses à faire et à voir pour les petits comme les grands.
Les fans des Chemins de fer à voies étroites et des Streetcar devraient être intéressés car c’est une sortie pour tout le monde.
J’aimerais remercier John le conducteur de train et tout le personnel qui m’ont aidé à produire cette video car sans leur enthousiasme et assistance, ce projet n’aurait pas été possible.
Ah…si vous voulez un tuyau…achetez un billet pour la journée et arrivez de bonne heure car une fois que vous aurez fait le trajet aller-retour, vous serez tenté de renouveler l’expérience encore et encore…
Seaton Tramway runs beside the river Axe estuary giving access to two nature reserves, The Seaton Marshes and Colyford Common. Bird Watching trips being just one of the Seaton Electric Tramway’s specialities being run by experts from the Axe Vale & District Conservation Society who know the estuary well.
There are currently 14 Trams running to the gauge of 2ft. 9ins. (838mm). They are of different scales of vehicle varying from half scale to two thirds but also with a few at full size but modified to run on 2ft. 9ins.
A Seaton Tramway visit has long since matured into a thoroughly interesting day out, with plenty of interest for both the dedicated tram enthusiast and hobbyist while being simply just great with families and children.
Narrow Gauge Railway enthusiasts and Streetcar (that’s for our American Fans that are watching), should also consider a visit as it is a great day out for everyone!
I wish to thank John the Driver and all the staff that assisted me in the making of this video as without all their enthusiasm and help this video would simply not have been possible.
Oh! . . . Just a tip . . It’s worth buying the day ticket and getting there early, as when you have been up and down once, you just want to go again, and again . . .

    My wife and I have travelled numerous times on the Seaton trams, since we were married in 1990. We always look forward to coming back and riding on them again. We highly recommend it. Thanks for putting this on here:)

    Back in my days with Devon County Council's Traffic Dept in the 1970's I remember this Seaton Tramway being developed as a tourist attraction - exciting times which helped put Seaton on the map. Great to see it now as a major tourism enterprise! Very nice, gentle video.

This is now one of the most interesting tourist attractions in the county and it has justly earned that status as it is run by the most enthusiastic group of people that one could imagine. Very best wishes to you and your channel and thank you for commenting on WooWooMad.

    Dear Christine Crockford, Oh! do have a ride when you have some time. I recommend that you buy the day ticket, that way it is possible to go up and down a few times and enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately the wonderful terminus in the open that can be seem in the video no longer exists. The tramway starts from a very plain looking commercial type building on the same site. A bit of a shame but they have more room for the café and a little shop. But remember to pick a nice day as it is great up on top of the trams. Thanks for the comment. Very best wishes WooWooMad.

    hywel trick Dear hywel trick, Thank you very much. It always is very nice to receive a complementary response to the work that one puts up on KZread, as it is a sort of strange thing to present something and just hope that someone finds it and then likes it. I have more projects in the pipeline but at the moment it is hard finding the time to put them all together. But I will get there. Thank you again, WooWooMad.

At the moment I have about ten videos, (very different subjects), in the pipeline that are going to need a lot of time to edit to something respectable so thanks for taking the time to contact me.

    +Zulnex Dear Zulnex, Thank you for the kind reply, but I now find that there is not enough hours in a day to produce DVDs as well, as I am already in trouble for not completing family video commitments. However, it will please me if over the next few months I can finally place on KZread the projects that I have already started as I know there are folk out there that are looking out for their particular project. There are some narrow gauge videos taken in Wales and a canal boat video that I really must get round to completing, but all that is after all this crazy work on my house has been completed ! ! Ah well, it's better to be busy than have nothing to do. Very Best Wishes for now, WooWooMad.

    Dear Southmead Lad, I have just had a look at the Wikipedia site on the Seaton Tramway and there is a good list of all the stock that is currently in the tram shed. I don't know if there is a members site that you can find someone to help you access the information but when I was last down there you couldn't find a nicer bunch of blokes to chat to. Maybe a little visit is on the cards, but do remember to buy a day ticket and go on the first tram out as like myself as you will end up riding all day. Very best wishes to you and your channel and thank you for commenting on WooWooMad.
