Refurbishment plans for an electric railway station on the east coast of the Isle of Man, are set to cost almost £700,000, says the Manx government. The money will be spent 'renewing ballast, sleepers and rails' at the station in Laxey, a spokesman said. The department of community, culture and leisure (DCCL) will apply for funding at the next sitting of Tynwald.

The Manx Electric Railway Depot is situated at the north end of Douglas Promenade nestling under Onchan cliffs. The main shed was rebuilt after a fire some years ago, hence its modern cladding. To the left, down the steep slope, are the workshops where the line's rolling stock is maintained [See image 31035]. The Hollywood style sign on the cliff is a well known local feature.
