Volks seashore electric railway

While looking for info re Brighton Volks Railway (see amusement park forum http://www.joylandbooks.co.uk/forum/vie ... php?t=1815) I happened upon this info and thought it might be of interest.

As the Pioneer travelled over the sea, UK law demanded that a trained sea captain be at the helm (or available at all times), and the tram be fitted with a lifeboat on the back and a number of lifebelts around the edges.


Amazing!
