The horse tram tracks are being taken up as part of the redevelopment of Douglas promenades.

They have been removed starting from the northern end of the seafront.

But the tracks immediately in front of the Strathallan terminus have not been taken up as they are not being replaced.

As part of the promenades redevelopment, the tramway is to remain as a twin track in the centre of the road between Summerhill and Broadway.

It will then switch to a single track on the seaward side of the road to the Sea Terminal.

Under the multi-million redevelopment project, the gardens in front of the Sefton Hotel have already been removed.

And underground service ducting work has also been taking place in sections across the northern end of the promenade. Meanwhile, the Strathallan tram depot site has been cleared to make way for a replacement facility.

Plans to demolish the site and build a new horse tram depot, including offices, ticket sales area, public toilets and space for temporary storage of MER tramcars were approved in July.

Tynwald has approved government spending of £1.5 million for the replacement depot.
