This sad and insignificant looking afterthought which can very easily be missed, is what passes for the terminus of a horse tramway which currently doesn’t go anywhere. On a world scale, it is acknowledged that the tramway is completely unique. Is it really beyond the wit of the DOI to provide something a little more fitting and appropriate to signify the current southern loading point of the truncated horse tramway, than this eyesore which has cobbled together from scrap steel?
Severed at Castle Mona Ave, the tramway is now unable to reach its natural and historical terminus at the Sea Terminal, once a source of major traffic. Even those with just a rudimentary understanding, realise that the Horse Tramway acts as a vital feeder for the Manx Electric Railway and Snaefell Mountain Railway. It is hoped that this basic FACT is not lost on those Manx politicians charged with making fundamental decisions.
