Saltburn Cliff Tramway

Built in 1884, this is a "Water Balanced Funicular".

It is now the oldest water balanced funicular still in operation in Great Britain, linking the Victorian town of Saltburn with the only remaining pleasure pier on the whole North East and Yorkshire coast.

Each car has a water tank and they are connected by a cable. The tank of the car at the top is filled with water, while the car at the bottom has its tank emptied. Then gravity takes over and the heavier top car goes down while the lighter bottom car goes up.
