They may have only last run on 2nd January but its very nearly for another season to get underway at the Seaton Tramway with daily running due to take place during the February Half Term holidays before its weekends only until the last week of March – and then there are daily trams all the way until the end of October!
The February Half Term week starts on Saturday 11th February and will see the Yellow timetable in operation. This sees trams every 20 minutes between 1000 and 1600 – with each tram running from Seaton to Colyton (and back!) calling at the stops at Riverside, Wetlands and Colyford. The Yellow timetable will be in use up until the end of March (weekends only until the last week of March) before the Blue timetable runs (every 20 minutes 1000-1700) until Friday 21st July. The Pink timetable is in use from Saturday 22nd July (every 20 minutes 1000-1700 but with extra trams as required) until Sunday 3rd September and then its Blue until Sunday 24th September and finally the Yellow timetable is back until Sunday 29th October when daily operation ends.
The tramway’s popular themed events will also return in 2023. This includes the family events “The Fairy Tale Tram”, “The Dinosaur Tram Adventure”, “The Pirate Tram”, “The Space Tram” and “The Story Tram”. There will also be “Bird Watching Trips”, “Driver’s Eye Experience” and “Tram Driving Lessons”.
2022 was another excellent year for the tramway – runner-up in the British Trams Online Tram of the Year “Tramway of the Year” – which saw the addition of two new stops to the 3 mile line and while 2023 won’t have that level of excitement you’re sure to have a good time if you head down to Devon!
