A scheme was promoted in 1882 for a <span class="nowrap">3 ft 6 in</span> (<span class="nowrap">1,067 mm</span>) steam tram network to serve <a href="/wiki/Weston-super-Mare_railway_station" title="Weston-super-Mare railway station">the railway station</a>, the town centre and <a href="/wiki/Birnbeck_Pier" title="Birnbeck Pier">Birnbeck Pier</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Maggs3_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Maggs3-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1885 the <a href="/wiki/Weston,_Clevedon_and_Portishead_Light_Railway" title="Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Light Railway">Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Tramway</a> gained an <a href="/wiki/Act_of_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="Act of Parliament">Act of Parliament</a> that allowed it to construct a tramway along The Boulevard, Gerrard Road and Milton Road to Ashcombe Road, from where it would continue across fields towards <a href="/wiki/Portishead,_Somerset" title="Portishead, Somerset">Portishead</a>. Although rails were laid in 1894 they were taken up again three years later, and Ashcombe Road became the tramway's terminus when it finally opened to <a href="/wiki/Clevedon" title="Clevedon">Clevedon</a> later that year. Motive power had been authorised as either horse or steam power.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another Act was passed in 1897 for a company named Drake and Gorham to build an electric tramway in the town, but the powers lapsed in 1899.<sup id="cite_ref-Maggs3_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Maggs3-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>It was in 1899 that the Weston-super-Mare Urban District Council transferred their obligations to supply electricity in the town to the Weston-super-Mare and District Electricity Supply Company.

Further branches were authorised along Ashcombe Road to serve the Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway station, and from Alexandra Parade to the <a href="/wiki/Great_Western_Railway" title="Great Western Railway">Great Western Railway</a> (GWR) station. Neither of these were built, and Regent Street was dropped in favour of a route along Oxford Street, a parallel road a little to the south. Construction started on 24 January 1902 and the route from Locking Road to Oxford Street and the Pier was opened on 13 May 1902, the same day as the opening of the new pavilion and public baths on Knightstone Island, towards the northern end of the sea front. The section to the Sanatorium opened four days later, on 17 May.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Grand_Pier,_Weston-super-Mare" title="Grand Pier, Weston-super-Mare">Grand Pier</a> at the end of Regent Street opened on 11 June 1904,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but ferries from Wales continued to serve the Old (Birnbeck) Pier, and so the tramway was kept busy bringing visitors down into the town centre. A short extension at the Old Pier allowed trams onto land belonging to the pier so that they could pick up from that pier's entrance. The Grand Pier Company tried to get the tramway to build a line along their pier but no powers were ever granted for this.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Weston-super-Mare_Marine_Lake_with_tram_and_bus_cropped.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Weston-super-Mare_Marine_Lake_with_tram_and_bus_cropped.jpg/220px-Weston-super-Mare_Marine_Lake_with_tram_and_bus_cropped.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="162" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Weston-super-Mare_Marine_Lake_with_tram_and_bus_cropped.jpg/330px-Weston-super-Mare_Marine_Lake_with_tram_and_bus_cropped.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Weston-super-Mare_Marine_Lake_with_tram_and_bus_cropped.jpg/440px-Weston-super-Mare_Marine_Lake_with_tram_and_bus_cropped.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1524" data-file-height="1124" /></a><figcaption>A tram and competing Bristol bus at the Marine Lake</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/Taxicab" class="mw-redirect" title="Taxicab">Taxi</a> drivers hated the introduction of the trams because they competed with the taxis' flourishing business.

Further competition came in the form of motor buses.
