It makes total sense to end it there and turn the rest into a cycle and walkway to Ramsey. Most people must be bored s***less by the time they get to Laxey anyway. HaHa. I have been in exactly that position and yes we were bored by Laxey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Peters Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 You guys have given me a Great Idea! Let's scrap the railways and trams and tarmac over the tracks to make motorcycle-only trails! More motorbikers here than steam fans, it's democracy at its best! 3 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are going to be very desperate next spring when Big Al Allinson steps up for the budget. Pushing pensions up 10%, CS pay agreements, increased benefits, future energy support payments. Where do people think all this money is going to come from? none of this spending should be scrapped. it's the income thats the real problem.

Moghrey Mie Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Quite refreshing to have some real debate on Manx Radio rather than government spin. Let's have more of that. I notice the latest publication from Bus Vannin doesn't include timetables for the trams or the steam trains. So much for 'integrated transport'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can because everyone in Maughold is probably in Spain in winter so they don't need it😁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM Cannan did nothing whilst serving under CM Quayle, and did nothing whilst serving under CM Bell. Lots of Waffle but delivering nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
