Eleven trams were built by Brush for the line with two more being added later on. The trams were the largest built for use in Britain and could seat up to one hundred and six. They could operate in pairs at busy times. An unusual feature of the trams was that they only had doors on one side this was due to the physical nature of the line with the sea one side and a road the other throughout the length of the line [1].
The railway was run down and closed in the late 1950s despite local opposition after it passed into the ownership of the South Wales Transport Company [2], the last train operating in January 1960.
