Great set of photos Rik.
Tis sad to see old trackbed though - but it does evoke images of what used to be......

Thanks Paul
To be honest, the trackbed walk was a bit boring after while - one stretch of disused trackbed looks very much like another


There`s very little infrastructure left. The Union Mills platform edge, a few overbridges and underbridges and three crossing keepers` shelters


Would be nice to think that one day it could be rebuilt (Peel is the only major town without a railway), but I doubt it will be.

By contrast, the Groudle Glen is a really lovely little railway which has been lovingly restored.
To get there from Douglas, I hopped aboard the MER and on reaching Groudle, there was an interesting vehicle on the tram track. No doubt the tramcar enthusiasts will be able to explain what it is and what it does.


The glen itself is very picturesque


The station is in a sylvan setting


The line winds through the woodland on the edge of the gorge and then emerges on the clifftop where there is the other terminus (where once there was a small zoo)
