MER stage 'rare' events ahead of 125th Anniversary
There was an unusual cameo appearance at the Manx Electric Railway station in Laxey yesterday afternoon - one of the Douglas Bay Horse Trams.
For the first time in history, one of the iconic carriages left the promenade, horse in tow, for testing on another line.
It's ahead of the MER's 125th anniversary commemoration this September, when rolling stock from various heritage railways will travel together between Derby Castle and Ramsey.
Enthusiasts are being promised a 'cavalcade' of rare carriages, as well as the opportunity to take their own tram driving lessons.
