Steam railway timetable reduced

Tue, 20 Sep 2016

The Isle of Man Steam Railway has been forced to change its timetable for the rest of the season.

Just one of the railway's locomotives is currently working following a number of problems, including a derailment earlier this month.

Typically there have been four return journeys on the Douglas to Port Erin line per day, but the reduced timetable sees just one trip to Port Erin daily, as well as two round trips to Castletown.

The amended timetable is available online, with those planning on using the steam train advised to check the new schedule before traveling.

The new timetable comes into force on Thursday and runs until November 6th, when the steam railway season finishes.
