I chanced upon this site whilst looking up some family history stuff in the Axminster/Colyton area. Found fasctinating stuff about the Eastbourne tramway! the poles which held up the electric wire are still in place by Princes Park. The potted history expains why the trams left Eastbourne. Blame in on Beeching!!!

Great time on tram way, thanks a lot.
Shame about very expensive car parking at Seaton, would have stayed longer in Seaton if the car park hadn't been so expensive. When will councils realise that excessive parking charges drive people away or don't they care?

In reply, Webmaster says: Jim
We are very pleased to hear that you had a great time on the tramway.
Unfortunately,the car parking charges are out of our control. However, the Seaton Trader Association have plans next year to bring in a rebate scheme but these are in the early stages.
In reply, Martin says: Why not park at Colyford and travel down to Seaton by tram? The parking is free and you can spend as long as you like at Seaton without watching your watch. You will also be travelling against the prevailing traffic, and so will get less crowded trams!

Hi ... I've found a fault on the guestbook on the new website ...
When you scroll down the guestbook, the menus scroll as well.
This shouldn't happen - the menus should always stay on the screen even when you scroll the centre section.
An example of how this should work can be found on www.scpg.org.uk, clicking on "wagon list" in the menu, and then scrolling the wagon list - in this case, the menu remains stationary on the screen.
Hope this helps.

In reply, Webmaster says: Thank you Jasmine Tram, your comments have been forwarded to our Website Design Company.
In reply, WNW Design says: Hi jasmine tram,
The old website used the concept of "frames" whereby one static page is always displayed on the website wherever you browse to. This is a building technique that has been very much disregarded nowadays. Due to the way the new website is built, the navigation no longer works in this way, and is reproduced throughout the website. This provides an easier and more diversified navigation and allows for alot more dynamics in the way the website is built as a whole. The Guestbook is still being fully tested and we are smoothing out any problems as we come by them, unfortunately it is not possible to display the navigation in the way that it was before though without restructuring the whole website.

Just thought I would enquire how the bus rally went, as we are away from home. I hope it was a great week end weather wise, look forward to fearing all about it on our return

In reply, Webmaster says: The Rally was great with a bumper number of entries this year. Weather was also good & we've got loads of pics to go on the new website as soon as of all the fantastic vehicles.

How strange - several entries that were here yesterday have disappeared. Why is this?

In reply, Webmaster says: Thanks for your comments in the new-look guestbook. Web site is still being tested so won't be fully functional until next week when it is signed off. Hope you agree though that the new site is looking great?

Very pleased to see I've made it onto the front page of the new website ... any news on the requested webcams on the front of the depot looking north and west respectively, please ?
Incidentally ... the email box will not accept my complete email address - it seems to be limited to 30 characters which is not enough !!!

In reply, webmaster says: I'ts certainly something we shall be looking to do, once we've got the new site up and running, together with the new online shop

In reply, ? says: When will the website be fully proof checked? Is it worth e mailing someone? I have found some trams have shrunk? Is there a prize? Hope it is sorted soon . Good luck!
