Zac Hall MHK

An MHK is to ask about the preservation of the Douglas to Peel railway line in this week's sitting of the House of Keys.

Onchan member Zac Hall will ask Infrastructure Minister David Cretney if the line has been preserved for leisure or another purpose in the future.

He'll also ask whether there is authorised use of the line, and if so how the authorisation was granted and if not, what punishment is planned.

The route is popular with walkers and cyclists.

Mr Cretney will provide a written answer on the matter in tomorrow's sitting.
