The end of another month and the latest Seaton Tramway newsletter tells us once again which trams had been used in service over the previous month. And this time its 9<\/strong> which was used the month with the tram which had that honour in April not turning a wheel in service!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9<\/strong> managed to run 750 miles during May \u2013 that is the equivalent of 125 trips along the line \u2013 moving it up from third place in April! 10<\/strong> again has to settle for second place with it running 738 miles and the podium positions were rounded off with 8<\/strong> which operated for 636 miles.<\/p>\n

Whereas April had seen 11<\/strong> at the top of the charts (running 984 miles), in May it managed to run a total of 0 miles! Presumably the tram has been enjoying some maintenance ahead of the forthcoming busy summer season.<\/p>\n

And 11<\/strong> wasn\u2019t the only tram not to be used during the 31 days of May as enclosed saloons 14<\/strong> and 19<\/strong> also recorded 0 miles.<\/p>\n

Of note is that one tram did return to service after its winter maintenance with 6<\/strong> running 96 miles. The tram enjoyed an overhaul and repaint at Riverside Depot and now looks resplendent once more!<\/p>\n
