Fodor's Expert Review Volk's Electric Railway

Brighton Family

Built by Brighton inventor Magnus Volk in 1883, this was the first electric railway anywhere in the world—and it's recently been spruced-up in an extensive, and very expensive, restoration project. Between April and October, you can take the 1¼-mile, three-station trip along the beachfront Marine Parade.
