Upper Douglas Cable Tramway

Douglas Corporation acquired the tramway in 1902 after the collapse of Dumbell's Bank and the section south of the depot in York Road was closed as it was felt that the gradient made it too dangerous to operate.

After closure it is believed that a number of cars (including those which remain) were offered for sale and other uses, therefore the scrapping date is largely conjectural.

The colour scheme is believed to have been that carried by the restored 72/73 today, being Prussian Blue panelling with cream panelling, lemon yellow detailing and brown/chocolate lettering; this distinctively included all major destinations of the route along the upper valence which has been accurately reproduced on the displayed car today.

[2] It was later moved to the Jurby Transport Museum where it remains today on an isolated section of reproduction track together with smaller items from the system also on display.

The Upper Douglas Cable Tramway featured on a 13p stamp issued by the Isle of Man Post Office in 1988.
