Heritage rail to celebrate 150 years of steam and 130 years of electric
Plaque unveilings, a double header departure and a Victorian fayre are amongst the events that have been organised to mark two significant milestones in the Island's history.
'Year of the Railways' will celebrate 150 years of steam and 130 years of electric.
Isle of Man Transport announced the programme last week.
Executive officer Charlotte Bennett ran Manx Radio through the full line-up for this year's commemorative events:
She says the heritage railways are synonymous with the Island:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
