Its probably unsurprising to find out that the two trams which were used the most were two of the \u201cnew\u201d trams with <strong>11<\/strong> leading the way and just followed by <strong>9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Whereas other tramways who release their tram usage figures tend to go with miles travelled at Seaton it is number of trips that are recorded and for 2023 that shows that <strong>11<\/strong> made a total of 963 trips with <strong>9<\/strong> not far behind at 951. The fact that <strong>9<\/strong> was so close to <strong>11<\/strong> is the more remarkable in that it spent a period out of use having its accessibility door modifications implemented.<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the scale the least used tram (except <strong>7<\/strong> of course which remains stored out of service) was <strong>4<\/strong> with 117 trips whilst <strong>19<\/strong> managed 147 trips \u2013 the two lowest capacity trams in the fleet. Of note is that the oldest purpose built tram, <strong>6<\/strong>, was only just above these two with 157 trips recorded.<\/p>\n<p>The total number of trips were as follows:<\/p>\n<p>11 \u2013 963 trips<\/p>\n<p>9 \u2013 951 trips<\/p>\n<p>8 \u2013 813 trips<\/p>\n<p>10 \u2013 763 trips<\/p>\n<p>12 \u2013 541 trips<\/p>\n<p>16 \u2013 533 trips<\/p>\n<p>15 \u2013 503 trips<\/p>\n<p>14 \u2013 456 trips<\/p>\n<p>2 \u2013 319 trips<\/p>\n<p>6 \u2013 157 trips<\/p>\n<p>19 \u2013 147 trips<\/p>\n<p>4 \u2013 117 trips<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above Seaton have already run in 2024 with the last day of the 2023 operating season being on 1<sup>st<\/sup> January.
