Trams & Tramway Systems
Douglas Bay Tramway
In possibly the final summer of operation, we take a ride with 'Keith' (the horse) along the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway on the Isle of Man from Derby Castle to Victoria Pier. Opened in 1876 using the Isle of Man's standard 3 ft gauge, this is now the last surviving horse drawn tramway in the world and must stay open! We are grateful to 'Keith' and the operators for their assistance with this film. https://youtu.be/VcO8PWk_j2I
Nottingham Express Transit
A review of the Citadis 302 class of trams / light transit vehicles that are used by the Nottingham Express Transit tramway system in and around Nottingham. Opened in March 2004, the system comprises two branches from Hucknall / Phoenix Park to Clifton South / Toton Lane and we see a variety of Citadis 302 type trams (introduced in 2013) operating in and around Clifton Centre on 2nd July 2017.
Seaton Electric Tramway
The Seaton Electric Tramway is a 2'9" gauge narrow gauge tramway that runs along the former standard gauge LSWR / Southern Railway branch which once ran between Seaton Junction and Seaton. Opened in August 1970, the tramway uses half size trams and operates for 3 miles between Colyton and Seaton, and on 20th October 2011 we enjoy a driver's eye view from tram No. 11 as we journey from Colyton to Colyford.
