A great way to travel across the Island, buy a travel card More

The journey in historic electric trains (or trams) from Douglas to Ramsey via Laxey along the coast is well worthwhile. On a good day, try sitting in the open air car (but take some warm clothes and a hat in case the wind gets up). At Laxey, you can change to another line that goes to the summit of Snaefell,... More

The scenery along the journey is truly spectacular, clear blue water, imposing... More

Had to travel on the open carriage as there was a bus tour travelling as well. It was somewhat cold! Would recommend the three day passs which gives unlimited use of trains, trams and buses. Our car never left the hotel car park. More

The terminus is set back a bit from the harbour and took some finding, a sits not on those manyb signposts. A large red brick building, it houses an exvellent cafe. The locos are very highly polished and run efficirently, and the well kept carriages are comfortable, mine was avery ornate one with armchairs, aparently restored for a royal visit.... More
