 | IOM Consequeses of doing NOTHING | This report examines the consequences of maintaining the status quo and not pursuing hydrogen-powered Very Light Rail (VLR) integration on the Isle of Man’s rail network. It highlights ongoing operational, environmental, economic, and strategic challenges that will persist or worsen without the proposed project. | IOM |
| ramsey reversing and Airport Loop Sept 2025 | A reversing spur allows single-ended VLR vehicles to change direction without needing a full turning loop. This is particularly valuable in constrained urban environments like Ramsey.VLR Trams operate clockwise and anti-clockwise, partially running on street infrastructure near the airport. • VLR loop offers direct, zero-emission access to terminal • Reduces taxi/car dependency, especially for short-haul and commuter traffic • Estimated uplift: £3M–£6M in transport efficiency and reduced congestion | IOM |
| Isle of Man H VLR F- Study Upgrade Sept 2025 | This study explores the potential for integrating hydrogen-powered Very Light Rail (VLR) technology into the Isle of Man’s existing rail ecosystem. The aim is to enhance connectivity, reduce emissions, and preserve heritage operations. The concept retains the Ramsey–Douglas line, Douglas horse tramway, and Douglas–Port Erin steam railway, while introducing hydrogen VLR vehicles for supplementary services, greater connectivity, through running and future-proofing. | IOM |
