After taking lunch in a very nice air-conditioned restaurant at Brighton Marina my wife and I travelled back from Black Rock station to Aquarium on the Volk's Electric Railway (VER). After arrival at Aquarium station near to Brighton Pier, I turned my camera back to capture Cars 10 and 6 being prepared for the next return trip. Of the three cars that we travelled on, Car 6 was the oldest dating from 1901 and was fairly fresh from a lottery-funded overhaul in 2018. Incidentally, whilst the line has been in existence for one hundred and forty years it was shut completely between 1940 and 1948 and is only a seasonal operation.
