Join us on the Isle of Man in 2026 as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway, the oldest horse-drawn passenger tramway to remain in service anywhere in the World.

Experience, first hand, the real-life workings of the earliest form of urban mass-public transit systems: the horse-drawn street tramway.

In the lead up to anniversary day, Isle of Man Railways will be organising celebratory events as part of its annual Manx Heritage Transport Festival, taking place from 28th July to 2nd August 2026.  Details of the festival will be published in Spring 2026.
