Brian333 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I wonder why Manx Radio news carry so many stories about the horse trams, another this weekend. Having 15 people working in the newsroom under Mrs Davies. 24 items on the subject so far this year. Hundreds in the search going back a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because it’s a topic of interest to a lot of people - have you ever thought about that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Is it horse tram horses to be seen grazing in the field on the corner of Blackberry Lane/Governor's Rd? They are very handsome beasts and look much bigger when not strapped to a tram. If they ever are that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know exactly how many horses they have, but it must be well into double figures which seems a lot to provide a one tram service for less than half a year. The fixed costs of the horse tram service, twelve months a year; feed, stablehands wages, rent, vets fees must be very significant in relation to the potential revenue from passengers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to live opposite many years ago and those fields were the nursery fields for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monasqueen Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Tynwald agreed in 2017 that the horse tramway should be restored to its full length. Since then enough horses have got to be kept in fine fettle and roadworthy so that the full service can be started up again. About time our politicians pulled their fingers out. 7 years of doing nothing is a bit extreme. If Manx Radio can keep the subject coming up, so much the better.
