Between 1300 on Wednesday 27th and 1300 on Thursday 28th May a 24 hour charity Tramathon took place on the Seaton Tramway with tram no. 4 running a return trip every hour in aid of Prostrate Cancer UK, Cancer Research UK, Marie Curie Cancer Care and Epilepsy Research UK. Although a few trips during the night (when a special flat return fare was on offer) ran without passengers the event was declared a success with raffle tickets also being sold to raise funds for the charities. £1825.83 has been raised so far for the four charities from the event.
