Lost Tramways: Brighton

The Brighton fleet of 3ft 6in trams was to survive virtually until the outbreak of World War II, indeed replacement trams were still being constructed in the 1930s, but a joint traffic arrangement set up in conjunction with one of the local bus operators saw the trams replaced by trolleybus and bus. Alongside the trams, Brighton also played host to Volk’s Electric Railway – one of the world’s pioneering electric railways and still operational today.
