Derby Castle
The Derby Castle terminus of the Manx Electric Railway in Douglas is directly outside the horse tram depot. The simple track layout contrasts sharply with the points and crossovers of the horse tramway behind. Arriving electric trains uncouple from their trailer, draw forward and then reverse out of the way. The trailer is then gravity shunted onto the single line in front of the booking office at which point the electric train drops back and couples ready to go back to Laxey and Ramsey. Trains continue to run until the first week in November although there are only four per day each way in Autumn.
