This December trams will journey through the Axe Valley for this special winter service, running every 30 minutes between Seaton and Colyton.
From 10am Saturday 5th Yellow tram service will run every weekend in December and daily between 21st – 24th. Enjoy a Christmas menu at Tramstop Café including mulled wine and mince pies!
What better way to explore the Jurassic Coast at Seaton as well as the wintry scenes along the River Axe Estuary and Seaton Wetlands with all the amazing wildlife to be seen, including kingfishers, wildfowl, wading birds, and maybe even foxes and deer! If you fancy some fresh air after lockdown we will have saloons and open-top trams operating. You can purchase our Explorer ticket and get all-day travel on as many trams as you’d like.
Santa’s Elves will be present at Colyton Station entertaining visitors whilst on holiday from the North Pole. Activities suitable for all ages and abilities will be available. Just be careful of those elves!
In addition, why not experience the Valley by night and travel on one of our winter twilight services? Visitors can travel to Colyton by tram and experience the trip by moonlight! Is there a better way to see the local Christmas lights?
Twilight departures are 5th, 12th & 19th December, departing Seaton at 1800, 1900 & 2000. The last tram from Colyton is 2100.
Christmas meals can be included on the 1800 or 1900 trips and food will be enjoyed at Colyton Station before returning to Seaton. Or why not just grab a winter snack or drink. Meals must be prebooked and will not be available on arrival and subject to availability.
