Isle of Man Douglas Horse Tram closed

[snoggle]

Spending cuts by Douglas Council have killed off the 140 year old Horse Tram line in Douglas.

Council statement

I know comments in local newspapers tend to be a but hysterical bit interesting to see the local reaction to the news - so cynical it makes me look naive. Clearly the locals don't trust their councillors.

That's very sad - I mean, have the council actually asked the residents if they are happy to pay for the horses. It's really annoying how this country seems to enjoy running its seaside resorts into the ground and not allowing historical and ancient things like horses and elderly trams to bring in the tourists.
