Boiler problems force reduced service

Fewer trains until the end of the season

Boiler problems are to blame for the Island’s reduced steam railway service, a transport boss has admitted.

Director of Transport Services Ian Longworth says mounting problems meant they had to make a decision about the remainder of the season.
