The division operates the following services:[2]

and later-added, the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway, previously operated by local authority Douglas Corporation.[3]

The four railways are operated under the banner of Isle of Man (Heritage) Railways,[2] and the Isle of Man Transport, previously seen on buses, is defunct, with buses operating as Bus Vannin since 2009.

In addition to these services, there are other forms of public transport on the island that are not government-owned and operated: these include Protours (Isle of Man), an independent coach company. There are also three privately owned and operated short-distance tourist railways: the Groudle Glen Railway, the Great Laxey Mine Railway, and The Orchid Line (a miniature railway within the Curraghs Wildlife Park).
