The track is 628 meters long.
Goes through 3 tunnels.
And goes over 3 bridges.
Travels at 18 Kilometers an hour.
Each Car weighs 13.5 tonnes when empty.
And weighs 21 tonnes when Full.
It carries just under a million passengers a year.
In 1973 a worker that was working on a road near by
accidentally walked on the track and was hit by one of the cars.
The track closed in 1974 by the council declared it was unsafe.
It was reopened by protest from locals so the council did a major upgrade  so it was safe.
