Seaton Tramway are once again celebrating award wins with two victories at the recent Devon Tourism Awards. The tramway won Silver Awards in both the Accessible and Inclusive Tourism and Large Visitor Attraction of the Year categories during a Zoom presentation.
Josh Castree, Marketing Manager at Seaton Tramway, said: “After being in business for over 50 years, it is good to know we continue to move forward on the right tracks and be recognised for the hard work we all do as a team at Seaton Tramway. It’s important to us that we join our friends and businesses around Devon to be able to lead the way. From winning the Welcome Accolade for Customer Service to these Devon Awards, it truly shows the hard work from everyone who works for Seaton Tramway.”
Over recent years Seaton Tramway have developed staff training and new events and experiences which have focused on being inclusive and accessible. Some trams have been accessible from as early as 1988 (no. 17) and accessibility remains a large part of the tramways charitable ethos. The Tramway is part of the nationally recognised Sunflower campaign, has trained staff for Mental Health, Disability, Dementia and Deaf Awareness and became a Disability Confident Employer in 2021.
2022 looks set to be another excellent year for Seaton Tramway too with two new stops set to join the line – one at Riverside and one at Seaton Wetlands giving direct access to the nature reserves.
