Tramway is known worldwide and should not be lost to future generations. In fact it should be fully supported AND extended if at all feasible

Save 140 years of history, Cultural centre without the previous 140?

The Douglas Horse Tramway is of world wide significance, and famous even here in America. It's unbelievable that the local custodians of this heritage treasure do not value it, and propose to destroy it for their short term convenience. An act of civic vandalism.

Please don't lose the horse tramway as it currently exists. It is one of the wonderful unique things that make the Isle of Man such a special place and is internationally important.

The horse tramway is a unique and wonderful experience which contributes to making the IOM something very special. Keep it as it is.

Douglas Horse Tramway is part of the magic of Mann. Please don't let it become just a novelty ride. It is part of transport history.

It is vital that such a unique institution as the Douglas House Tramway is preserved complete and that the system is not truncated.

If the horse tramway goes even to a small extent it will be a great loss to tourism and many children (and adults) will deprived of a thrilling experience that has been available for manny, many generations. My mother used to talk of it when my parents had their honeymoon ion in Douglas pre World War II. PLEASE keep it running for future generations.

One of IOM greatest tourist attractions. Taking it away serves no useful purpose.

The horse tramway is unique, and contributes to the economy of the IoM far in excess of its running and maintenance costs. I ravelled to the IoM to ride on the horse tramway, but sadly it was not running.

Why would you close a 140 year old tourist attraction - one of the last in the world.

Please don't destroy the history of your island. In the long term you are losing history and tourism attractions that you need.

It would be a disaster and tradgedy if it was allowed to abandon the horse tramway.Developers are crazy and no thought for tourism or common sense.

Ridiculous! Stop decimating heritage like this in the name of so-called "progress" that no-one but the money-obsessed property tycoons want!
