The Oldest Electric Railway…..in the WORLD! Volks Electric Railway, Brighton, East Sussex



Whilst visiting friends in Brighton, and the fact we wanted to get from the Marina to the pier and the weather was rubbish, it was gloomy, and rainy, the electric tram rolled up, so we went for a ride alongside Madera drive on the beach (I think it was too cold for anyone on the nudist beach, and there was no one in the water for the cold lifeguards to watch either) However, spirits were lifted with chips, and some ice cream, then hot chocolate

Volk’s Electric Railway is a narrow gauge heritage railway that runs along a length of the seafront of the English seaside resort of Brighton. It was built by Magnus Volk, the first section being completed in August 1883, and is the oldest operating electric railway in the world.
