Across three days over the weekend the railway once again hosted the Dino Express trains in connection with a dinosaur-themed event at the Manx National Heritage site a short distance from Ballasalla Station at Rushen Abbey; participants had reserved seating on each of the four Douglas departures each day and alighted for connection by bus shuttle to the site where entertainment was provided.  No.11 Maitland and No.13 Kissack were both in traffic and the “R”  timetable was in force featuring trains of five carriages each, No.11 sporting a headboard.  Services are operating daily across the Easter period, there will be no service on 22nd, 23rd, 29th and 30th April, or 6th 13th  and 20th May before daily services commence for the main season.
