Become a Seaton Tram Driver for the day with one of our driving experience courses. The courses are very "hands-on", giving you the chance to enjoy maximum time at the controls and drive in the same conditions as our own staff drivers. The course also includes a guided tour of the Tramway's HQ at Riverside Depot, giving the chance to see behind the scenes of our unique operation. At the conclusion of your course, you receive a commemorative certificate and souvenir to remind you of a great day out.

This experience is for people aged 18 and over at the time of the lesson.
Before you book your lesson, you should consider whether you are physically fit enough to participate.
Although there is no age limit for this experience, students must be able to stand for long amounts of time and have a reasonable amount of strength to be able to be at the control of a tram. The instructor is on hand to help at all times and can take over more difficult tasks.
You do not have to hold a car/road vehicle license for the lessons.
Please note that if you wish to move forward with applying to drive a tram at Seaton Tramway, a car/road vehicle license will be required.
Students will not be permitted to operate the tram when crossing the road of A3052 in Colyford.
It may be necessary to use an open tramcar, so appropriate warm and waterproof clothing should be brought along as a precaution.
Seaton Tramway reserves the right to alter, curtail or cancel the booking without notice, but will endeavour not to do so unless absolutely necessary. In the event of a complete cancellation, full refunds will be offered.
