BY RAIL
Isle of Man Transport operates four heritage railways which offer a unique way to discover the
island, and also to see the races.
The Isle of Man Steam Railway operates in the South of the Island, between Port Erin and
Douglas. Why not try the dining train?
Along Douglas Promenade runs the iconic Douglas Bay Horse Trams connecting with the
Manx Electric Railway at Derby Castle*.
The Manx Electric Railway heads north between Douglas and Ramsey, via Laxey where you can
connect with the Snaefell Mountain Railway. This fantastic feat of engineering combines Victorian
charm with spectacular views, and on fine days in an open trailer a good dose of Manx air!
The Snaefell Mountain Railway runs from Laxey up to the summit of Snaefell. From
Laxey travel half way up the mountain to the Bungalow, a fantastic spot to see the
races. While you’re there why not take the opportunity to go right to the top and enjoy
Summit Dining with panoramic views of the island.
For all railway timetables look in the back of our bus timetable, pick up a leaflet or visit www.rail.im
*Due to promenade works Douglas Bay Horse Tram will be operating a reduced service this year. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
