The railway company undertook to maintain the roadway for four feet either side of the rails where the tramway crossed the Newburgh to Port Errol road.

[2] The tramway was constructed mostly with bullhead rail set on chaired sleepers with open ballast, but using granite sett paving in the station forecourt.

After crossing a field and the Newburgh to Port Errol Road it turned to terminate by the front door of the hotel.

Two passenger tramcars were provided and built by the Great North of Scotland Railway at Kittybrewster,[6] in a purple lake and cream livery with "Cruden Bay Hotel" on the rocker panel.

The tramcars were used as a summer house and shed until 1988 when they were recovered and the best of both was used to create a single car for preservation at the Grampian Transport Museum.
