==History==
The tramway was built and initially operated by Thomas Lightfoot, a retired civil engineer from Sheffield. His service was introduced in 1876 between the bottom of what is now Summer Hill and the bottom of Broadway in the centre of today's promenade adjacent to the Villa Marina. In the earlist days the track was expanded, passing loops and long crossovers added so that by 1891 the line ran double track the entire length of the promenade much as it does today. From opening it has operated every year, except for a period during the Second World War.,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Isle of Man Guide - Transportation, Horse Drawn Trams )〕
In 1882, Lightfoot sold the line to Isle of Man Tramways Ltd, later the Isle of Man Tramways & Electric Power Co. Ltd, which also owned the Manx Electric Railway. The company went into liquidation in 1900 as a consequence of a banking collapse. The tramway was sold by the liquidator to Douglas Corporation (now Douglas Borough Council) in 1902. Since 1927 the tramway has run in summer only.〔
In 2015 Douglas Borough Council partnered with Isle of Man Transport to introduce the 'Ticketer' system as used across the Island's other public transport systems.〔http://douglas.im/index.php/news/council-news/item/1173-just-the-ticket-council-updates-horse-tram-ticket-management-system#.Vaj1fV9VhHx〕 On board a Ticketer hand-held unit connects with the island-wide contactless Go Cards and individual tickets can also be purchased.
