Seaton Tramway’s Blackpool Boat inspired tram – no. 4 in their fleet – is often one of the most elusive trams in the fleet with it not usually used on the normal timetable service. But to help celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day it will be out running some Boat Tram Specials with tickets now available to secure your spot.
No. 4 will be out on VE Day itself – 8th May – and will be offering four return trips on the day, running from Seaton to Colyton and back. Departures will be at 1120, 1240, 1440 and 1600. Each ticket allows you to take a round-trip on no. 4 and if you decide to alight at Colyton that will be the end of your journey as its strictly one round trip only.
The price of tickets is the same as a usual Explorer Ticket and after you’ve enjoyed your ride on the Boat you will be able to enjoy the rest of the trams in service on the standard timetable.

- Seaton Tramway will also be running a special VE Day Memory Tram on 7h May 2025. The Memory Tram allows participants to listen to songs from back in the day and then when at Colyton there will be a special tea and activities to carry on reminiscing and celebrating the occasion.
