Operated by Isle of Man Railways as part of the government, this era saw advances in the leaflet format and included the timings for the electric and mountain railways.  This era encompasses the Year Of Railways in 1993 and the subsequent anniversaries, culminating in a change of management policy in 1999 upon the arrival of David Howard as Director of Transport which saw services somewhat minimised and the loss of the popular "extra" which had traditionally operated for some years between Mondays and Thursdays in July and August.
