The opening of the steam railway line between Douglas and Port Erin was very much a case of will it/won't it, perhaps/perhaps not. We hear about the reasons for difficulties and delays before it eventually did open for public travel - without ceremony - on Saturday 1st August 1874.
Sean O Bradaigh made a translation into Irish of one of Dora Broome's stories of Manx folklore. We hear a translation into Manx, with one eye on Sean's Irish translation, and the other on Dora Broome's English original.
