NEWLY refurbished Edwardian saloon carriages will add a gastronomic angle to travel on the Isle of Man Steam Railway later this month.
The carriages have been refurbished as part of a rake of five non-compartment vehicles which can be hired for wedding, birthday and business functions. They have corridor connections so passengers can walk between coaches to reach the bar car or to mingle with each other during the journey.
Cherrywood Four Star Bed & Breakfast in Ramsey Isle of Man proudly brings you news of enjoyable events taking place on the wonderful Isle of Man. Why not browse our site to find out more.
The two latest carriages to be refurbished, both dating from 1905, will make their inaugural journey on Friday, September 30, with a Rolling Lunch which includes hot and cold snacks and waiter service.
Passengers can also take their own food on the return trip to Castletown which leaves Douglas station at 12.10pm and returns by 1.40pm.
On the evening of the same day the carriages will form part of the Rail Ale train which leaves Douglas station at 6pm. Drinks will be available from the bar carriage and passengers must be aged over 18. The train stops at Castletown at 6.37pm and arrives at Port Erin at 7pm. The return train leaves Port Erin at 8pm, calls at Castletown at 8.22pm and reaches Douglas at 9pm.
Tickets for each of the special trains cost £10 return for adults or £5 for children, who are welcome on the lunch train. They are available from Isle of Man Transport’s website www.iombusandrail.info/rolling-stock.html
