On Heritage Transportation Day, the students initially visited the steam railway workshops to see restoration work on old railway stock and to see how the steam engines are looked after and prepared for a days work. They then took a scenic trip in Manx style via the horse tram on Douglas Promenade, the electric railway up Snaefell Mountain and finally the steam train to the south. It was very cold and foggy at the 2037 ft summit of Snaefell and the students were intrigued to see Manx sheep grazing on the hillside. The day’s tour included a visit to the seaside town of Ramsey, an exploration of the famous Laxey Wheel, the largest working waterwheel in the world, and the Great Laxey Mine, and a walk along the Victorian Promenades in Douglas, featuring the famous Bee Gees statue.
