SINCE it was introduced on Wednesday this beach train has been proving popular with the holidaymakers on the central beach. Run by the District Council and a Peterborough firm on a sharing basis, the purpose-built diesel-powered engine has been trundling along the new sea walk and the South Bracing at a steady 6 mph every day, drawing an open carriage filled with passengers.

The circular-trip from the Tower Esplanade and back — including the time taken to unluck and lock the gate on the boating compound esplanade — lasts nearly 20 minutes. A bell and a motor horn can be used to give warning of approach by drivers Mr Dick Revill and Mr Jarvis Taylor.
