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:
Lone cyclist involved in Peel Road collision
Emergency services attended the incident earlier this week
Government 'unable' to comment on recount outcome
Review of election will include how votes were counted
Manx Care forecasting £19.2million overspend
Healthcare provider records £10.8million deficit in first six months of 2026-27 period
Manx students believe social media ban 'will have pros and cons'
Restrictions on under 16s using some sites will come into force in the UK next year
