My wife and I went to the Classic TT in 2015. We flew from London to Douglas. Once there, feet and public transportation were all we needed. Lodging can be expensive.
The locals were terrific. One day, we wanted to go to Ramsey to see the races from a different vantage point. A train goes there from Douglas. On the way to the train station, I was talking to someone on the bus and missed the stop. "Shit, I missed the stop." The bus driver overheard me. He called the station by radio and ASKED THEM TO HOLD THE TRAIN FOR ME, which they did.
