As another main operating season comes to a close at the Seaton Tramway, the latest newsletter gives us more details about how far each tram ran during the last full month of running in 2025. Although the weather has been cooling and becoming less settled it was a month which still saw the open top double deckers dominating the mileage with the usual top three.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Of course, those top three are the newest built from scratch trams \u2013 9<\/strong>, 11<\/strong> and 10<\/strong>. 9<\/strong> ran the most miles with 762 miles recorded with 11<\/strong> then running 750 and 10<\/strong> coming in bronze medal position at 546 miles.<\/p>\n Four trams in the fleet didn\u2019t run at all in passenger service during the month \u2013 4<\/strong>, 6<\/strong>, 12<\/strong> and, perhaps surprising considering the time of year, 19<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For 6<\/strong> that is mostly down to the fact that it has been taken out of service for a small refurbishment and repaint. Whilst Works Car 02<\/strong> was out of service undergoing its own overhaul, 6<\/strong> had been used by the track team and so its needed some TLC to bring it back into regular passenger use. This will see a new paint job, whilst the seats will be sanded, polished and revarnished. All being well the tram should return to normal use in 2026.<\/p>\n Tram mileage for October:<\/p>\n 9 \u2013 762 miles<\/p>\n 11 \u2013 750 miles<\/p>\n 10 \u2013 546 miles<\/p>\n 14 \u2013 468 miles<\/p>\n 16 \u2013 384 miles<\/p>\n 15 \u2013 312 miles<\/p>\n 8 \u2013 294 miles<\/p>\n 2 \u2013 72 miles<\/p>\n 4 \u2013 0 miles<\/p>\n 6 \u2013 0 miles<\/p>\n 12 \u2013 0 miles<\/p>\n 19 \u2013 0 miles<\/p>\n Whilst the main operating season ended on Sunday 2nd<\/sup> November that doesn\u2019t mean the tramway will go into complete hibernation as from Friday 28th<\/sup> November it\u2019s the return of the Polar Express Tram Ride. Tickets still remain on selected dates with the special experience taking place all the way through until Wednesday 24th<\/sup> December.<\/p>\n The next normal services on the tramway will be post-Christmas between Saturday 27th<\/sup> December 2025 and Sunday 4th<\/sup> January 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As another main operating season comes to a close at the Seaton Tramway, the latest newsletter gives us more details about how far each tram ran during the last full month of running in 2025.
