Track from terminus to Broadway approved by inspector
Horse trams could start running on Douglas Promenade next week.
The Department of Infrastructure has confirmed the track - from the terminus to the bottom of Broadway - is complete and has been approved by a railway inspector.
Pre-operational rail cleaning began last week.
MLC Kerry Sharpe, who is a political member of the DOI, said the department wants to begin the season during the Summer Heritage Transport Festival from 27-31 July.
She was also quizzed, in Tynwald, about whether the long term plan is to have the tramway extend the full length of the promenade:
