Track from terminus to Broadway approved by inspector
Horse trams could start running on Douglas Promenade next week.
The Department of Infrastructure has confirmed the track - from the terminus to the bottom of Broadway - is complete and has been approved by a railway inspector.
Pre-operational rail cleaning began last week.
MLC Kerry Sharpe, who is a political member of the DOI, said the department wants to begin the season during the Summer Heritage Transport Festival from 27-31 July.
She was also quizzed, in Tynwald, about whether the long term plan is to have the tramway extend the full length of the promenade:
TT rider 'suffered chest injuries in fatal crash'
Community on Island 'praying' as 7.8 earthquake hits Philippines
Workforce size and pay awards make health budget 'difficult to predict'
Overhead MER cables brought down in Laxey
