Transport Policy 2
Source: Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016
11.2.5 The Island is fortunate to have an historic vintage rail network, which includes the Isle of Man Steam Railway, the Manx Electric Railway, the Snaefell Mountain Railway, the Groudle Glen Railway and the horse trams which run along Douglas Promenade. Development on or around the rail network should not compromise its attraction as a tourism and leisure facility or the potential for increased use as a public transport system, for example as a means of travelling to work.
11.2.6 In addition to the present rail network there exist former railway routes, most notably between Douglas and Peel and from Peel to Ramsey. These trackbeds are predominantly utilised as public footpaths and in some cases as cycleways as well. A number have been designated utility service corridors which may affect their potential as public transport routes. They should be protected from development which would diminish their attraction or potential as public transport routes.
