The Old Git Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We were on the tram from Ramsey and some people off the Snaefell tram joined ours trailer at Laxey. A young family sat by us and the father said they thought they were going to die. I guess that counts as terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Given that the tram and its technology hail from the Victorian era I suppose that its design speed on both ascent and descent would be best described as "genteel"? Therefore anything beyond that speed is going to be very obvious in both perception to the passengers and the way the tram handles and behaves. So if it "ran away" it would be more than obvious to those on board that it was doing so. Without the obvious sight of two men apparently desperately swinging on the brake operating wheel to try and slow it down as well. I'd say it's come very close to a major incident and needs thoroughly investigating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you're absolutely spot on. And independent inspectors should carry out any investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettafa Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 DAVID ANDERSON MLC stand in Minister, on Manx Radio: "blah, blah blah,...and see if there are lessons can be learned" Mr Anderson you are the biggest cretin of all cretins. You were the same when you were Health Minister you are the same now. Mealy mouthed cretin. The second biggest example of why the Legislative Council needs to be dumped.
