Anyone travelling on the steam railway today will have to take a short trip on a bus.

Isle of Man Transport has said that underground flooding near Ronaldsway Halt means it cannot use the full track.

Its post on Facebook said: ’We are unable to use part of the railway track near Ronaldsway Halt.

’Therefore a bus will be provided for the small connection between Castletown and Ballasalla. The bus will connect with all scheduled trains.’

The change will affect all of today’s services.
