DoI chief officer says changes are being made but eliminating all risks is impossible
Work to improve safety on the Island's heritage railways is ongoing, but it's not possible to eliminate every risk according to the chief officer of the Department of Infrastructure.
A report published earlier this year into an incident involving a tram on the Manx Electric Railway made six recommendations to reduce future risk.
Emily Curphey confirmed progress has been made, but there's more to be done, particularly around the reporting of near misses.
However, she says some risk is to be expected:
Meanwhile, Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall is confident the railways are safe:
Manx Care asks visitors to wear face masks
Thousands can benefit from a satellite visa office, says ex-Douglas councillor
Ronaldsway passengers urged to arrive promptly
Work underway to 'get confidence back in the economy'
