Here is a sure sign that summer is on its way.

The horse trams are to start on Douglas promenades tomorrow (Saturday).

It’s the second year that the government - in the form of Isle of Man Railways - will run the service after Douglas Council gave it up.

The first horse tram will leave Derby Castle at 9am and the last tram leaves from the Sea Terminal end of the line at 5,50pm.

Horse tram fares are £3 for adults and £2 for children for single journeys.

Day tickets are £6 for adults, £3 for children or £15 for a family. Season-long Go Horse Tram cards valid until November 5 are £30 for adults and £20 for children and holders of Isle of Man senior citizens’ 60+ cards. Go Explore cards are valid for travel on all bus and rail services operated by Isle of Man Transport, including the horse trams.
