It seems that controversial work to redevelop Douglas Promenade and shift the Horse Tramway from its traditional ‘middle of the road’ location have been postponed for the second time. Douglas Borough Council has announced that the Horse Tramway will operate during 2016. In addition the tramway’s 140th anniversary will be celebrated over the weekend of the 6th/7th August.
Also, the Douglas Horse Tramway will be woken from its Winter slumbers on the 19th & 20th December 2015, when Santa Specials will be operated.
Full details of the Santa Specials and the 2016 operating season will be posted in due course.
