Bus drivers are due to enter their fourth round of industrial action

There'll be extra heritage rail services tomorrow (Friday 20 March) for commuters affected by the next round of bus strikes.

Drivers will be taking part in their fourth round of industrial action over the weekend.

The extra train services will be at 7.45am from Port Erin Railway Station with a 3.10pm return from Douglas.

Friday's final 'R' timetable service will also set off at the slightly later time of 4.20pm to try and help those trying to get home.

The Isle of Man Steam Railway and Manx Electric Railway will both be operating on bus fare pricing during that time.
