this is only our second year at the TT and having the car last year we didnt use much public transport.

We'd really like to get up the mountain on the railway this year, was wondering if you guys can offer some pre- travel advise.

1. We're staying in Douglas, best way to get to Laxey, bike or electric tram?
2. Whats at the top? amenities, food, drink, etc?
3. Is it even sensible to spend a day up the mountain to watch the racing?

i know we could probably find all this out once we are there but i like to plan things in advance

thanks
