b4mbi Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 IoM Online saying that they are changing the hours the horsetrams work which will incur more costs as most Govt employees fixed hours only to 4:30?? OK, that's separate to the point I want to make which is why isn't the whole promenade made to be parking rear end in on the sea side, and then keep ONE horsetram track on the seaward side of the prom. Rip up the other set of tracks and have 2 way traffic on that side of the prom and still parallel parking along loch prom? Solves horse tram underoccupancy problem, creates more parking, relatively simple to do. I know it's probably been said before, but I wanted to say it again.

Better still electrify the route, lay tracks up through town, narrow the road and cut the parking bays thereby forcing motorists out of their cars as wholly inconvenient to use as a means of daily transport. Bingo the transport infrastructure pays for itself! Of course we couldn't possibly do anything that would get people out of their cars, could we??...

Lonan3 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The only good thing about the trams is that dickhead cyclists occasionally get their tyres stuck in the rails and go ass over tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooore Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Cyclist - a rider of a bicycle. No mention of the word dickhead in that description. But just to be on the safe side, I think i'll stop riding my bike & get a new hobby. Or not. Right, now i'm off to get my wheels stuck in some tram tracks or something.

Albert Tatlock Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 A horse driven monorailtram system suspended above the prom would obviously be far better, and bring the trams into the modern age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
