    Looking at the photos it appears as if the digger boom is not stowed at the minimum possible height.
    If the dipper arm had been folded back more under the arm then the top knuckle would be lower.

    I hope that the idiot who caused this mayhem is made to compensate the Seaton Tramway for lost business, caused by his stupidity.

    I suspect that there will be a large 'interruption of business' claim

    Pity the OLE is only 110v not 25Kv

    Oh look! .... the "comments" at the foot of the news article are disabled. D'you suppose comments might have led to a few words considered too 'colourful' for public consumption? What the 'Herald' clearly needs is a journo who could've strung a headline together blaming the tramway .... as the BBC website usually manages when road and rail meet in unfortunate fashion.
