<H4>Manx Transport Trust</h4>

Virtua Museum

4th February 2007 to 29th January 2009

PLANS for a vintage transport museum are back on track after further discussions between Government Departments.

A solution has been found to allow the Manx Transport Trust to use a hangar at Jurby to house some of the historic vehicles pictured, including trams and buses currently stored at Homefield Garage in Douglas.

The move follows talks involving the Chief Minister and the Ministers for Tourism and Leisure (DTL), Local Government and the Environment (DLGE), and Trade and Industry (DTI).
