Air ais anns na 1940an, bha fear ann an Lunnainn air an robh Claude Lane. Bha factoraidh charbadan dealanach aige a bhiodh a’ dèanamh milk floats.
Bha e uamhasach dèidheil air tramaichean agus bhris e a chridhe mar a bhathar a’ dùnadh siostam thramaichean Lunnainn mean air mhean.
Ach bha aisling aig Claude: bha e airson slighe-trama a thogail dha fhèin.
Thoisich e le loidhne bheag taobh a-staigh an fhactaraidh aige ann am Barnet, Lunnainn. Cha robh rùm gu leòr ann airson tramaichean àbhaisteach is mar sin, thog e tramaichean beaga le gèidse 15″.
An uair sin, cheannaich e trac a b’ urrainn dha gluasad gu diofar fhèisean agus làithean fèille gus tursan trama goirid a thoirt do chloinn. Bha seo gu math soirbheachail ach cha robh sin math gu leòr do Chlaude: bha e airson loidhne mhaireannach a thogail.
Dh’fhosgail e slighe-trama ghoirid ri taobh na mara ann an Hastings ann an 1951 – bha meanbh-rathad iarainn ann uair a bha air dùnadh agus chaidh na tramaichean nan àite. Bha na tràmaichean seo na bu mhòtha – gèidse 2′. Cha do mhair an loidhne seo ro fhada, ge-tà oir cha robh a’ chomhairle ro thaiceil.
An uair sin, ghluais e an slighe-trama gu Rhyl sa Chuimrigh far an robh e stèidhichte ann am fèill-spòrs fad beagan bhliadhnaichean.
An uair sin, chaidh e gu Eastbourne far an do thog e loidhne mu mhìle a dh’fhaide ri taobh na tràighe. Thog e diofar thramaichean le coltas tramaichean ainmeil bho slighean tramaichean mòra – Boat car Blackpool mar-eisimpleir.
Bha loidhne Eastbourne gu math soirbheachail ach ann am meadhan nan 1960an, dh’fhàs e follaiseach gum biodh obair leasachaidh a’ tachairt faisg air an slighe-trama le rathaidean ùra agus gun cuireadh seo bacadh air an loidhne tràma. Nuair a tòisich cùisean a’ dol ceàrr ann an Eastbourne, cho-dhùin e gun robh e ag iarraidh loidhne trama a thogal a bhiodh leis fhèin an àite a bhith air lios bhon chomhairle.
Bha grunn rathaidean-iarainn fhathast a’ dùnadh ann am meadhan nan 1960an mar phàirt de gheàrraidhean Beeching (Tuiteam gun Èirigh air is Leac air a’ Bheul!) agus chuir Claude roimhe fear de na loidhnichean ath-fhosgladh do luchd-turais mar slighe trama.
Thagh e an loidhne gu Seaton air costa ear-thuath Devon. Bha an loidhne a’ ceangal Seaton air a’ chosta le Colyford agus Colyton, a’ ruith tron Axe Valley.
‘S e baile snog do luchd-turais a bh’ ann agus bha i a’ ruith tro theàrmainn nàdar àlainn cuideachd is mar sin, bha Claude den bheachd gum biodh an loidhne gu math freagarrach do luchd-turais. Bha e ag iarraidh tramaichean nas motha a chleachdadh is thagh e gèidse 2’9″ gus am b’ urrainn barrachd dhaoine a dhol orra.
Dhùin an rathad-iarainn ann an 1966 agus dh’fhosgail an t-slighe trama anns an Lùnastal 1970. Chaochail Claude gu h-obann ann an 1971 gu mì-fhortanach, ach chaidh an obair a chrìochnachadh le daoine eile.
Tha an loidhne a-nis 3 mìle a dh’fhaide agus bidh mu 80,000 duine a’ dol air na tramaichean a h-uile bliadhna. Bhiodh Claude uamhasach toilichte le seo, chanainn!
Chan e a-mhàin gu bheil an loidhne tarraingeach, tha na tramaichean air an loidhne uamhasach snog cuideachd. Tha trama stèidhichte air tramaichean Ghlaschu agus trama stèidhichte air trama Lunnainn mar eisimpleir agus tòrr a bharrachd eile.
Feumaidh mi a dhol ann latha dè na làithean nuair a bhios apocalypse nan zombie (suidheachadh a’ chorònabhìoras!) rud beag nas fheàrr!

St Kilda, UNESCO-Welterbestätte im Nordatlantik, ist für viele Schottlandbesucher ein Traumziel. Der Kurzfilm berichtet über eine Gruppe von Tagesausflüglern, die vom natürlichen und kulturellen Reichtum des abgelegenen Archipels in ihren Bann gezogen werden.
St Kilda, UNESCO world heritage site in the North Atlantic, is a dream destination for many visitors to Scotland.
This short film reports on a group of day trippers who are captivated by the natural and cultural wealth of the remote archipelago. It’s our latest addition to our “Other Tongues” collection.
As usual, a word-linked Clilstore transcript, with the film embedded, is available here: https://multidict.net/cs/8989
Our translator and narrator for this film is Volker Labitzke. A keen traveller who has visited many places all over the globe, he found his paradise in the Outer Hebrides where he moved from Germany more than 10 years ago.
“The breathtaking scenery of Uist, the friendliness of the islanders and the slower pace of life in my new home have made my former busy city life a distant memory”, he says. He is interested in languages, history, and walking as well as railway and miniature modelling.
At Island Voices we are very grateful that Volker found time in his busy schedule and amongst his many interests to offer this skilled narration. Mòran taing, a charaid!

Fhuair an t-eadar-theangachadh air ACDD le Eoin P. Ó Murchú fìor dheagh lèirmheas air Smaointe Fánacha Aonghusa:
Scéal deas teann atá ann – ach tá dóthain snáithe ar foluain gur féidir a bheith ag súil leis breis scéalta as eascairt as. (Agus tá dóchas agam go mbeidh!)
Is cloch fiúntach ar charn léitheoireachta na Gaeil seo, agus buíochas ag dul do Tim Armstrong agus Eoin P. Ó Murchú araon.
Nach math sin! Léigh an post iomlán…
