The Douglas Bay Horse Tramway
The horse trams are an iconic part of the of the Isle of Man. Started in 1876 by Thomas Lightfoot to take advantage of the booming tourist trade, the 3ft gauge horse tramway runs from the main depot at Derby Castle, along the Promenade to the Sea Terminal. The trams run from early April until early November, and are currently operated by Isle of Man Transport as part of their Heritage Railway offering. Many of the original fleet of cars are still in use today, and it is a popular tourist attraction. It is the oldest surviving Horse Tramway in Britain.
These video clips record a northbound journey on single deck Toast rack car No 44 hauled by ‘Robert’ on 22nd July 2017. The following day ‘William’ is pictured with Double deck car No 18 passing the Palace Hotel & Casino.

Isle of Man Transport: Douglas Promenade Horse Trams
The only commercial horse tramway in the world still in operation runs along the seafront at Douglas, the Isle of Man's only city. Its southern terminus is a few minutes walk from the Steam Railway Station, at the Seaport Terminal. It then heads north, at a fast trot, with traffic on both sides, slowing down (and occasionally stopping) to let passengers on or off at a handful of stops in between the two termini.
It then passes the stables, where the horses are changed up to every two hours so that they are not overworked. The tram then continues past the Sheds, which we have a brief look inside and see the hand-operated traverser which moves the trams to the correct tracks inside, and finally it arrives outside the Terminus Tavern at Derby Castle, a terminus it shares with the Manx Electric Railway (which is coming up in my next video).
There were two out-of-service trams at the Derby Castle terminus: one is a Toastrack tram, the other painted in a different livery as it is the Royal Tram used when members of the Royal Family visit the Island.
All the trams date back to the beginning of the horse tramway in the late 1800s, but only includes one working double-decker which does one trip a day. Unfortunately I was never in Douglas when it ran so didn't catch it on film.
Hope you like the video, and the series will continue shortly as I'm trying to clear a backlog of videos for both this and my other channel (8spliced).
