In this article we make another brief visit to the Volk’s Electric Railway as the sun again shines on the line in Brighton. The 1 mile (and a little bit!) line runs on a 2 foot 8½” gauge and is powered by third rail. Whether it’s a railway or a tramway is a debate often to be had but it’s a seaside pleasure ride unlike any other and there aren’t many that are this close to the sea! Tony Sullivan is the photographer.

Cars 6+10 stand at Aquarium just before leaving with a service to Black Rock. The position of the long extant second line can be clearly seen. (Both Photographs by Tony Sullivan, 6th June 2023)
