THREE FM Reports
"People on the Isle of Man are being encouraged to object to plans to scrap the horse tram tracks between the Sea Terminal and Broadway.
The Manx Electric Railway Society has started an on-line petition objecting to the idea which the Department of Infrastructure will take to Tynwald next week. The department says operating the twin tracks in their current location but terminating at the War Memorial is the preferred option as it will save £750,000.
Society secretary Julian Nutter says the new Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer has backtracked on comments he made in support of the tram remaining on the full length of the prom." Visit Three FM's website to hear the interview.
The On-Line Petition can be found at:- http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/save-douglas-ba... Anybody who is concerned for the future of the Horse Tramway is urged to sign the petition.
