Tram Driving Lessons!
More information

Become a Seaton Tram Driver for the day with one of our driving experience courses.

The Tram Driving 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.
