The Volks 2

Volks railway
 The Volks Railway was open in 1883 and claims to be the oldest operating electric railway, although I think this may be challenged by a line in Wales. Originally laid to 2' and later regauged to 2'9" it currently runs from the Palace Pier to a point just short of Brighton Marina. mostly at ground level.
