Seaford Museum, housed in a former Martello tower, has one line of a Rapid Wire system with propulsions from the Co-op shop in Newhaven which is nearby.
The museum has a number of displays of shops and the carrier was orininally set up with one propulsion in the shop and one outside with a "hole in the wall" to allow the car to pass through. The car came from Dartford Museum and the propulsions were renovated in 2007 by Charles Painter of the Museum staff. It has now been redesigned to run in the open over a range of shop fronts. The propulsions can be operated by visitors (generating much interest from children) and the system works very smoothly without short running or bouncing back. Museum website
