Services were due to stop this weekend
The Isle of Man's summer season officially finishes this weekend, but the Isle of Man Steam Railway and Manx Electric Railway aren't done just yet.
The Department of Infrastructure has opted to extend the services for a while, whilst the air bridge with Guernsey remains open and local demand is high.
Its minister, Tim Baker, explained the decision to Manx Radio's Dollin Mercer:
'Very high' flu levels have presented operational challenges for Manx Care
Chief executive thanks staff after busy winter period
Discussions remain 'ongoing' over easyJet flight offerings
Flights to some key routes will be reduced from next month
CoMin rejects Steam Packet Statutory Board proposal
Ministers say arm's length operation was a 'key tenet' of operator's acquisition
Population growth 'slower than needed' to support Manx businesses
Treasury Minister says Island still needs to attract more people
