Overall Rating
Excellent
Our group had a really lovely day out on the vintage trams. The staff were great, the trams were accessible and it was nice and sunny which always helps. We also enjoyed our visit to the vintage shed which is an antiques shop at Colyton station. Our group loved reminiscing with each other in the shop. Before we got back on the tram to Seaton we had tea and cake at the cafe, a really successful afternoon out!
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
They had accessible trams which we used as we had someone in a wheelchair in our group. Both Seaton station and Colyton are both fully accessible. Below is a link to their accessibility guidlines: https://www.accessibilityguides.org/content/seaton-tramway

The parking has improved recently and they now have disabled spaces at Seaton station. When we were there we had to park across the road in a car park.

Good
There is a disabled toilet at Colyton station and a toilet at Seaton station

The staff were very helpful and friendly. They helped us get aboard the tram and made sure we got off safely.
