Must run the full length of prom. Short term fix would actually mean that its unlikely to run as a meaningful service again, world class status and importance as much as cable cars in usa. Mhk not given coorect information therefore their decision was incorrect

Incredible that in this day and age such a heritage icon should be so seriously compromised.

We should try and make the most of what we have, especially since the hotels near the sae terminal help to promote the trams and shrinking it will cause loss in profit

The tramway is a vital visitor attraction and to abandon it is a huge mistake.

Truncating the horse tram line will significantly reduce its usefulness to locals and visitors alike and substantially cut passenger numbers.

Would San Francisco close its cable cars? The Douglas horse tramway is the LAST horse tramway. Its of world heritage importance.

This is a wrong headed decision to destroy a unique public transportation experience.

Far too many historical features are being lost. The Douglas Horse Tramway is just as important part of the Manx Heritage as is the Laxey Wheel, Tynwald, Peel Castle, do not destroy it it's a major part of your tourism.

Keep the full length of the service as it has always intended to be, it has slowly been cut over the years I have been visiting and this is not what I expected of such a wonderful service. More not less is whats required!

Douglas has been systematically ruined over the last decades. It's time to put a stop to it! Leave the horsetrams alone!

The main reason we travel to IoM is it's unique transport heritage. To destroy part of the horse tramway and destroy the stables would significantly degrade that heritage. Leaving the route cut in half would only lead to its demise, perhaps that is the intention?
