The Island's historic Steam Railway is welcoming passengers back on board from today.

It's the latest of the heritage railway lines to return for the summer season and comes after the Manx Electric Railway returned to action last weekend.

The first steam train of the season is expected to set off at 9.50am from Douglas this morning and timetables for the next few weeks are available via the link here.

Meanwhile, then Snaefell Mountain Railway is scheduled to get back up and running from Saturday (May 29).
