The Manx Electric Railway Society says it's 'dismayed' by a planning application which it says would 'rip up' the horse tram tracks for good.
There's been an ongoing battle to secure a permanent solution for the historic trams after the withdrawal of funding from Douglas Council.
The application has been made by the Department of Infrastructure - despite there being no confirmed plans for the future of the trams.
Julian Nutter is the society secretary - he says he feels they are 'jumping the gun' and someone is trying to sneak it through before anyone realises what's happening:
