Stay away from train tracks

Keep off the railway lines!

That's the message from Isle of Man Transport, which has launched a new safety campaign about the Island's electric and steam railways.

The organisation says during winter, local residents use the lines for "recreational activities" - but without realising trains and trams are still running for engineering purposes.

Head of Engineering Andrew Cowie says although scheduled services may not be running over winter, trains still run for maintenance purposes, and people should stay off the tracks.
