As we are now in the main season for the tramway the 20 minute frequency service uses four trams (to ensure there is always a tram at Seaton ready to depart) and on this day <strong>2<\/strong>, <strong>9<\/strong>, <strong>11<\/strong> and <strong>12<\/strong> were allocated to this. This quartet were joined by 10 on a private hire, <strong>15<\/strong> on a tram driving lesson and <strong>6<\/strong> on a test run following recent workshop attention. And all this on a normal midweek day in early July! Paul Hudd was on duty as a driver during the day and has shared the following images with us.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->In other news at Seaton, ex-Exeter Corporation Tramways <strong>19<\/strong> is currently out of service undergoing overhaul work in the depot. The tram has been sidelined for this work throughout 2019 so far but it is hoped that the work will be completed before the end of the year to allow it to be used during the Polar Express specials in the lead up to Christmas. All other trams in the operating fleet \u2013 save for long-term absentee <strong>7<\/strong> \u2013 have been used during the year so far with some more than others!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28526\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=28526\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-28526\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28526\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28526\" title=\"1.2-ph\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1.2-ph-550x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1.2-ph-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1.2-ph-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1.2-ph.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-28526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An unusual view of 2 showing its controls as it awaits departure from Seaton.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_28527\" style=\"width: 422px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=28527\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-28527\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28527\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28527\" title=\"2.11+2-ph\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2.11+2-ph-412x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"412\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2.11+2-ph-412x550.jpg 412w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2.11+2-ph-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2.11+2-ph.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-28527\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">11 and 2 wait at Seaton for their next duties.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_28528\" style=\"width: 422px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=28528\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-28528\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28528\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28528\" title=\"3.9-ph\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3.9-ph-412x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"412\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3.9-ph-412x550.jpg 412w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3.9-ph-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3.9-ph.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-28528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taken through the driver\u2019s windscreen of 11 we see 9 approaching Axmouth Loop.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_28529\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=28529\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-28529\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28529\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28529\" title=\"4.11+12-ph\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/4.11+12-ph-550x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/4.11+12-ph-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/4.11+12-ph-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/4.11+12-ph.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-28529\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">11 heads past Riverside Depot on its way down to Seaton on its last service run.
