Although initially the VOLKS RAILWAY in Brighton might appear to be just another seaside attraction it is actually the OLDEST remaining operating electric railway in the WORLD having opened in August 1883.

A train is seen here at Black Rock station at the eastern end of the 1 mile long line on the 8th August 2007.
