The Weymouth Harbour Tramway: A Seaside Oddity Soon To Be Lost? | Another Station, Another Mile #14

For as long as rail travel has existed in Britain, the railways have been intrinsically linked to one place in particular – the seaside. Countless seaside towns in Britain can trace their history back to the arrival of the railways, as with them came freight for cargo ships, boat trains for passenger ferries, and tourists wanting a nice trip to the beach. Weymouth was one such town to benefit from this rise in prosperity, but while a station some distance from the seafront was adequate, what if the trains could run all the way through the town itself, along public roads, right up to the Weymouth Quay to pick up and set down both cargo and passengers for ships in the port? Back in 1865, that idea was realised – and here is the result. Welcome folks to the curious story, of the Weymouth Harbour Tramway!
