Seaton Tramway (Devon) - The whole line (& nothing but the line) - Taken on top of the open deck

[@mpeterll]

That brought back memories. I rode it as a youngster more than 50 years ago. The route was only half as long then (ending at the road crossing) and the overhead wire wasn't yet functional. The trams all pulled (or pushed) a small 4-wheeled truck with a battery.

[@blacksmock445]

I remember those trolleys as I worked at the Racal Electronics factory at Seaton from 1973-79. It looks as if the place where the trams passed each other , alongside the mudflats, was at the bottom of what was the Racal car-park. Many of my colleagues had worked for the previous owners, Airmec, who manufactured electronic test equipment. When they first worked there, the car park was occupied by the platforms of Seaton's station, which had closed during the 1960s.

Great shot, it looks like Hong Kong Tram running on train track Especially the red one incoming at 10:35

Наконец-то увидел весь маршрут. Вэб камера только на конечной. Спасибо за видео.

[@melodymonger]

Great video. This is what I miss about not living in the UK anymore. As a kid my family were always visiting places like the Bluebell railway and the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway. I've never been to Seaton but I ❤ it! Thanks 🙏

Very enjoyable! Good use of spring switches. It's unusual that there are so few road and pedestrian crossings on a line that long.

[@natepicker436]

Thanks so much! I often watch the cam at Colyford station because it is so charming. And now I know how long it is. I was in Seaton in 1979 but alas, didn't see much of it since I took ill. If I return, I'll ride this wee tram in a big huge!

[@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229]

It is a lovely trip and the trams are fantastic. The staff are very friendly and informative too.

!Nice video. Super!

[@suze6999]

Great view of the trip. I often watch the cameras on this line and from what I have seen I'm thinking this was on Car 12. Was hoping for a view of the tram once it reached Colyford to confirm.

[@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229]

I can confirm it was number 12 .

[@sehenswertes]

They are looking al little bit like the trams in Hong Kong

Great little line. Particularly liked the part where the super tight radios brought out a pacer impression.

[@Igor-Mortis]

Very nice.

[@SteveMikre44]

[@andrewmonument8847]

Nice to see the full route - I've just been watching the live feed so far. One question... How does it not derail when passing over points that are not set in its favour !

[@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229]

I believe they are spring loaded. The tram pushes the point over and then it resets after the tram has passed over the point.

[@andrewmonument8847]

@@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229 Ahhh !... I sorta thunk that's the way it happened, but just wanted confirmation from another viewer. Amazing how this channel is so addictive.

[@user-AZ-phil]

For someone accustomed to Arizona's deserts, this is luscious green countryside! And this is a wonderful ride through it. A question out of my curiosity. From about 5 minutes into the ride, are those ponds or a river estuary, to the right, then the left, of the line? Thank you muchly for a great video. It brought back fun memories of the interurban rides I took, as a child, in southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, back in the late 30's and early 40's (dating myself, there).

[@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229]

The river is the river Axe near to where it emerges into the English Channel. To the left and right the area is a wetland which is home to numerous bird species. If you look to the left you would be able to view some of the hides for birdwatching and the raised wooden walkways.

[@wiesenklingel7713]

wundert mich, dass solche Doppeldecker unter Oberleitung erlaubt sind. Wenn ein sehr großer Mensch da aufsteht und vlt noch einen Regenschirm aufspannt, kommt schnell mal ein Stromschlag durch Überspannung.

[@arch9enius]

They're more worried about you touching the (insulated) trolley pole tbh.

[@MichaelBeeny]

Those poor people on the upper deck, bet they were soaked. Typical holiday in the UK. I don't miss it one bit. (NZ)

It was a bit rainy and that is why a few times you could see my hand trying to.protect the lense. All part of the great British summer

Der Motor hört sich an wie der Motor einer 475 Baureihe ( ausrangierte Baureihe ) der Berliner S - Bahn , der ehem. Deutschen Reichsbahn bzw. jetzt S- Bahn Berlin GmbH es macht Spass den Sound dieser Baureihe noch woanders zu hören. MEEEGGGAAAAA . Kann mir jemand verraten , ob ich evtl. richtig liege mit den Motoren und deren Sound ??.

[@celebrityrog]

Super fucking cute this is, even though I question how those teeny tiny little tracks and ties can keep that train going. It kinda looks like a miniature version of Hong Kong trollies which of course are British themselves, so I guess it makes sense these small railroads would have been used in places with limited mobility and within small communities over larger rail.

[@Ztbmrc1]

What a lovely little tram! I like it. Why are there neutral sections? Or at least signs saying: switch off power. (however no signs saying switch it on again). And I guess all drivers are in contact over the radio, with probably some kind of dispatch telling them whether the next section is free?

Yes , they did use radios .

[@dommsevanschnitzel2732]

I mean it's only 120 V DC and theres probably more than enough headroom but this open deck combined with OHE still makes me feel uneasy 😅

[@kutakichi]

Is there a risk of electric shock to passengers if they sit next to the trolley pole on the rooftop seats?

[@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229]

No , the pole is insulated and the live wire is far above everyone's head. Someone would need to jump high to touch the wire and then they wouldn't be grounded so they wouldn't recieve a shock. All safe

[@kutakichi]

@@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229 Thank you for the explanation. In Japan, it is never permitted for passengers to sit so close to live electrical wires in this way.

[@michaelbruchas6663]

Are these historic trams ALL open top deck?

[@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229]

Most are. I think they operate 14 trams in total and a few are single deck and fully covered.

[@TheClockwise770]

No there are 4 single deck enclosed cabin trams too

[@u2goDD]

I find it daring to transport people so close under the overhead wire. How much space is there for a 2m tall person?

[@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229]

The connecting rod is insulated and the wires are surprisingly high. Even a tall person jumping up would find it difficult to touch the cable
