Car No 8
by
Shop
Based at Seaton Tramway in Devon.
Built in 1968.
Based on the ex-Bournemouth open toppers which latterly operated at Llandudno & Colwyn Bay.
Car 8 was the first to be built with consideration to the eventual regauging of the system, with 2 ft 9in chosen to allow for larger trams to be built, without making the existing 2 ft gauge fleet redundant.
Initially built with end saloons on the lower deck, a rebuild in 1992 removed the saloons and installed open cross bench seats instead.
Painted in Bristol blue and white livery.
Currently operational.
