Trams: Is There Much Tramway Interest On Here??

[dunnyrail]

I have just been on google maps, I hadn’t realised someone had moved the terminus, I am guessing they still need to cross the road to run round trailers?

Also gone seems to be the old goods shed.

I think they run round a bit nearer to where the Car Barn is, memory tells me the council wanted the MER to stop crossing the road. Superb joined up thinking by the council, lets make things more difficult for public transport. Though in truth the MER is less of a Transport but more of a Theme park line these days. Perhaps when the world has tipped past the environmental disaster point they may understand what a zero carbon method of public transport consists of.

The tram shed has gone -you can see it in the 2010 Streetview photo, but not the one from 2022 and yes, the Goods Shed has gone also .
Given the Manx ambivalence about 'old stuff' (including tram/railways) a backwards step is not a surprise. Look at what they tried to do with the horse trams on Douglas prom. In their defence, there just aren't the passenger numbers that there were in the heyday of rail transport on the Island.

Haven't been on here for quite a while but a couple of photos of trams at the Ulster Transport Museum last week might be of interest.......
