Infrastructure Minister dismisses calls to cut service to one track
Reducing the Manx Electric Railway to a single track operation would cut the service by two-thirds without reducing operating costs.
That's according to the Infrastructure Minister, who was asked whether one track could be converted into a walking and cycling lane at this week's sitting of the House of Keys.
Ray Harmer dismissed the suggestion, stating the cost implications would be too great.
However, he confirmed there are plans to repurpose a former railway line for active travel:
Funding of government services 'not sustainable'
Douglas Council object to DoI plans for temporary parking on Summerland site
Surgeon announces he's standing in General Election
'Bridging the care gap' focus of World Parkinson's Day
