Season starts on shortened track
The 2019 horse tram season has started today, albeit on a greatly shortened track for now.
Currently about 500m long, it is set to be lengthened bit by bit as work on Douglas promenade continues.
Transport Projects Manager Ian Longworth says it was vital to get the trams up and running in some capacity as soon as possible, as they are often part of heritage transport packages which visiting enthusiasts have come over for:
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
MU continuing to engage with stakeholders
Motorcyclist suffered fatal chest injuries in crash
Gareth Underwood was pronounced dead at Noble's Hospital
Trial for trio accused of producing Class A drugs to Island
