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:
Creamery managing director to leave role
Findlay Macleod stepping down after 26 years
Fast-tracked legislation was designed to close 'loophole of expanding problem'
Curbs on nicotine products to be discussed by LegCo next week
