MER does double at UK awards

The Manx Electric Railway is revelling in success after winning two national awards.

The fully restored no.54 carriage took to the honour of 'Tram (Traditional) of the Year' at the British Trams Online Awards for 2019, whilst last years Heritage Transport Festival took the title of 'Event of the Year'.

MER is thanking all those who took the time to vote for the local entries - adding the awards celebrate the achievements of all those who keep the historic line running today.

The no.54 carriage hadn't run in public service since 1971 until a huge project from volunteers and staff brought it back to life for the Heritage Transport Festival in July last year.
