Large jump in rail passengers

Isle of Man Transport says the Island's heritage railways carried record number of passengers this year.

The season ended on November 5, with a 13 per cent rise in passengers between March and November compared to last year.

In total, 512,847 people used the Steam Railway, Manx Electric Railway, Snaefell Mountain Railway and Douglas Horse Trams.

Ian Longworth, Director of Transport Services, says the jump in passengers comes despite scheduling restrictions on some services.
