How to get around the Isle of Man Public Transport Let public transport take the strain while at the Isle of Man TT. Travel on the extensive bus network or hop on board the Victorian rail network, you’ll find getting around the island easy and cost-effective. Buses The island has an extensive bus network - Bus Vannin - which serves the whole of the island on a regular basis including the Isle of Man airport and the Sea Terminal in Douglas. An increased late night bus service operates on Friday and Saturday evenings which serves all the main towns. Buy a multi-journey ticket which will help you travel around the island. The 3, 5 or 7 day Explorer ticket allows unlimited travel on all scheduled railway services, the Douglas Horse Trams and most bus services. Tip : The bus service goes around the TT course from Douglas to Ramsey when the road is open, there is no access once the road is closed. No bus service travels along the mountain section from Ramsey to Douglas, but you can access the bungalow area using the mountain railway. Railway The Isle of Man boasts three heritage railways – the Manx Electric Railway, Steam Railway and Snaefell Mountain Railway – which will transport you to your chosen destination in style. The Electric railway travels from Douglas to Ramsey via Laxey, where you can also join the Snaefell Mountain Railway. You can take the Steam Railway from Douglas to Port Erin with stops in Castletown, Port St Mary amongst others. Tip: The Electric trams are not affected by the TT course being closed. You can use the Snaefell Mountain railway from Laxey to access the mountain section of the course. Taxi For ease and convenience why not hail a cab? There are taxi ranks located outside Ronaldsway Airport and the Sea Terminal and throughout the Island's capital Douglas. .

Media Release – Embargoed Until 0600 15Th May, 2006
11th May 2005 Media Release – embargoed until 0600 15th May, 2006 New local airline for the Isle of Man The Isle Of Man’s air links are set to be boosted with the launch of a new local airline. Manx2 is registered in the Isle of Man and based at the airport and is committed to providing year round air links for both business and leisure customers. This summer it will be launching three routes from the Isle of Man to Leeds Bradford, Blackpool and Belfast International Airports. The airline is the brainchild of two aviation entrepreneurs with long experience of operating regional airlines for Island based communities. Noel Hayes and James Filleul set up and ran Rockhopper (recently rebranded to Blue Islands – see ‘profiles’ below for more details) and last year flew more than fifty thousand passengers on nine routes to and from the Channel Islands. Manx2’s services to Belfast and Blackpool will be launched on 15th July, with flights to Leeds Bradford following on 12th August. Bookings can be made through its website, manx2.com from the beginning of June, and by telephone through Manx2’s reservations centre on 0870 2422226 from the same time. Manx2 will be operating a fleet of 19-seat aircraft which are specifically designed for making short, frequent flights to neighbouring regional airports. The aircraft will all carry the company’s motto “Failt erriu - You’re welcome”. “Having secure long term transport links is essential for Island communities, and we have many years experience in building strong routes which will serve local people all year round”, says Noel Hayes, Manx2’s Chairman.

Appendix. 25 (A) Public Transport
Work Package 14 IMPACT Report Appendix 25(a) Promote the use of public transport 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. The challenge this report seeks to address is to reduce the volume of emissions from transport, specifically travel by private vehicle, through the promotion of public transport. 1.2. On the Isle of Man the primary form of public transport is a whole island bus service (Bus Vannin), provided by the Transport Services Division of the Isle of Man Government Department of Infrastructure (DOI). 1.3. A heritage railway does operate but journey times, cost and frequency make them unviable as regular public transport options as they exist today. A further piece of work to understand the operating costs and options available to develop the Isle of Man Railway network into a valuable public transport system should be undertaken. 1.4. The UK Parliamentary Report into bus services in England outside London, published in May 2019, reported that people’s choice of transport is influenced by convenience, frequency, reliability, journey length and cost. 1.5. A sample research exercise undertaken in the Isle of Man provided an indication that residents identified with those same issues. 1.6. This report considers further exploration and action that may need to be taken to address these issues and any other barriers identified. 1.7. The improvement of real time customer information through personal digital devices and public digital screens at key bus stops would increase the level of information available for customers, complementing the existing telephone information line. 1.8. Ticketing information needs to be simplified and payment methods easier.

Pilot Fact File – Meet Josh, a Real World First Officer for a Large European Q400 Operator
Here’s a full run down of the items covered in each of the 10 parts of the course: • Part 1 – Pilot fact file – Meet Josh, a real world First Officer for a large European Q400 operator. He will be your training Captain for the entire course. In this short film we find out a bit about him, the Q400 itself and what lies in store over the next 9 hours of training. • Part 2 – Flight deck tour – Before we get in the air, let’s take a complete tour of the Q400 flight deck. We won’t go into too much detail about the finer points of the aircraft systems here, as we’ll be demonstrating them once we get going. This is to get you around the auto-flight system, the overhead panel, the engine controls, fire protection and understanding the layout of the Q400 flight deck so you’re less likely to accidentally flick a switch that might ruin your day. • Part 3 – Initial base training - Now that we’ve learned a bit about how to operate the Q400, it’s time to put our skills into practice and meet our training pilot Josh for our initial base training. Here, just as in the real world, we fly an empty aircraft with no passengers from a quiet airfield for a number of take-offs and landings so that we can get used to dealing with the various flows and check-lists involved. We also learn how to start the engines, taxi safely, understand charts and how to tune navigation aids.
