点评:A must see if you’re in the Isle of Man! This was my first time on the MER in about 20 years. Unsurprisingly, not much has changed and nor should it.
The terminus is located about 15 minutes walk from Douglas centre. It’s a pleasant walk in good weather; the horse drawn trams are another option.
The website either had an outdated timetable, or we read the wrong one - be sure to double check before you arrive (we ended up having a one hour wait)
Time from Douglas to Ramsey is 1h 15m. If you’re doing this and want to explore Ramsey, I’d recommend setting the best part of one day aside. Maybe more if you’re doing Snaefell / Laxey etc.
Tickets can be purchased at the Douglas terminus, and there are offers (eg 3, 5 day passes etc). Sitting in the inside unit is more comfortable than the outside, which has wooden seats…not ideal for over an hour along a twisty and at times, oddly bumpy, railway!
All in all, I highly recommend. A very unique and interesting piece of history
翻译:如果您来到马恩岛,这绝对是必游之地!这是我大约20年来第一次乘坐马恩岛铁路(MER)。不出所料,这里变化不大,而且也确实不应该改变。
终点站距离道格拉斯市中心步行约15分钟。天气好的时候,步行前往非常惬意;您也可以选择乘坐马拉电车。
网站上的时刻表要么是过时的,要么是我们看错了——务必在到达之前再次确认(我们最终等了一个小时)。
从道格拉斯到拉姆齐需要1小时15分钟。如果您打算乘坐这条线路并游览拉姆齐,我建议您预留一天的大部分时间。如果您还要去斯内费尔山/拉西等地,可能需要更多时间。
您可以在道格拉斯终点站购买车票,那里也有一些优惠活动(例如3日票、5日票等)。坐在车厢内比坐在车厢外舒服多了,车厢外的座椅是木头的……在蜿蜒曲折、有时还异常颠簸的铁轨上坐一个多小时可不太舒服!
总而言之,我强烈推荐。这是一段非常独特且有趣的历史。
