Operating loss not on Douglas rate payers
Douglas Borough Council leader David Christian says recent figures showing an overall operating loss for running the horse trams show the Council was right to stop running the service.
The Isle of Man Government had to purchase infrastructure, such as rolling stock, to take on the operation and has recently purchased the stables for £600,000.
Mr Christian says when you take away the upfront costs from the figures for last summer, the horse trams are still running at a loss:-
Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
