Isle of Man Episode 2 (13th July) Douglas to Ramsey

It's Day 2 on the Isle of Man and this time we're heading onto the the trams of the Manx Electric Railway, starting at Douglas DEvry Castle heading north, along including at Laxey a trip up the Snaefell Mountain Railway ...

This is part of the 'All The Stations - Ireland' Kickstarter, thanks to each and everyone of our backers for their support, and we hope you enjoy the signs and sounds of the Isle of Man Railways.

Exploring the Isle of Man: The Manx Electric Railway & The Snaefell Mountain Railway.

In part one of this two-part series, I'm taking the Manx Electric Railway from Douglas to Laxey where I'll change trams onto the Snaefell Mountain Railway for a trip up to the famous summit. On the way, I'll tell you all about the trams and show you some of the scenery as we overcome a temporary breakdown, cloudy weather and railway closures I should have known about before planning ahead.

Things don't always go to plan do they but I hope you see enough of the trams that were running to make you want to go and explore the Isle of Man yourself. I'm glad I did.

As always guys, your support is very much appreciated. Likes, comments and subs are all very welcome and thank you very much for taking the time to watch my content.

Cheers for now.

The MER trams have stopped using the station at Ramsey. The trams now stop short behind a white, plastic, fence. There is a suggestion to build a new public transport hub on the old site.

Manx Electric Railway

Here is a 30 minute video taken on the Manx Electric Railway on 29 April 2022 on a David Williams Charter. No tripod was used so you will have a chance to see how good - or not - the image stabiliser on the Sony AX-33 video camera is. We didn't quite make it to Ramsey because the final section was single-line working and to carry on would have meant waiting for other trams to clear the section. I hope to get all the way to Ramsey next time...

Note there is an error with the date of the charter - it was 29 April 2022 not 2020! I'll correct it but not immediately.
