The service was introduced in 1876 and the line has run every year since, except for a period during the Second World War.

Today sees the Horse Trams gallop into action as they celebrate their 135th year of operation.

The service was introduced in 1876 and the line has run every year since, except for a period during the Second World War.

It’s always been a popular tourism draw and was a permanent fixture on the prom all year round until it was made a seasonal feature in 1927.

As it’s celebrating such a significant anniversary the Manx public are being encouraged to make use of it throughout the summer months.
