Electric trams begin services

The Island's electric trams are running today, as the service marks a special birthday.

The Manx Electric Railway's trams began the 2018 season this morning, and will run until November 4.

This year marks 125 years of services on the line from Douglas to Laxey and the railway is planning special events to celebrate.

Department of Infrastructure member Jason Moorhouse MHK says he's hoping the railway will beat last year's tally of 228,000 passengers.
