A charity dedicated to the Island's electric railways says it's dismayed by the suspension of services on Snaefell.

But the Manx Electric Railway Society says it can't understand why problems with electric power should affect braking and mean services have to be called off.
Julian Nutter from the MER Society says there's a second braking system which worked for 80 years until the electric system was added:
