Christmas Fair Shuttles
In connection with a Christmas fair being held in Laxey, the MER was running on 1 and 2 December . Trams were having to run single line over two sections of the line, between Howstrake and Groudle, and between Fairy Cottage and Laxey. The line relaying at Groudle had not yet been completed resulting in this single line section, and a landslip at Fairy Cottage causing the ohter. This meant the trams were having to reverse at Groudle on south bound journies once the northbound tram had gone through. On the Saturday cars 5, 6,9 and 19 were in use.
