Minister defends reliability of diesel train

by isleofman.com 13th March 2015
It’s unlikely a contaminated fuel supply in the Island's new diesel train is down to foul play.

So says the Infrastructure Minister after problems with the ?400,000 locomotive.

Phil Gawne this week defended its reliability after a series of breakdowns and unexpected boiler failures.

Bought by the former Department of Community, Culture and Leisure 15 months ago, Onchan MHK Peter Karran this week labelled it a 'disastrous purchase'.

Mr Gawne dismissed suggestions the fuel problem was caused maliciously.
