Where is this?

Could be part of a typical British occurrence:

At the end of last week it was revealed that owing to an overhead line fault at Newhaven trams on the Edinburgh Trams network were only able to run between the Airport and Ocean Terminal. Now seven days on and an update has been provided which has confirmed that repairs are necessary.

That's Seaton in South West England. I can't find out where exactly this photo was taken, but I think that's where the Seaton Wetlands Halt is today. I found a very similar photo on DeviantArt that was taken in 2019, before the Wetlands Halt was finished. I also found a video on YouTube from 2019, and it looks like they pass this place around 11:30 (but they're going south, whereas this photo was taken by someone going north).

This article on britishtramsonline.co.uk has a photo that looks like it was taken in the same place. The text says that's Swan’s Nest Loop, but that's just the old name of Seaton Wetlands Halt, according to the website of the company that runs this tram.
