Title: Ebbw Vale Funicular v Ebbw Vale Cableway Post by: eightf48544 on August 15, 2017, 17:27:37 Does anyone know if the Ebbw Vale Funicular is still working. It didn't seem to be working on 31 July but it was Sunday.
The only references I can find was it shut shortly after it opened in 2015 after it vandalised. I can't find any references to it reopening. Title: Re: Ebbw Vale Funicular v Ebbw Vale Cableway Post by: Red Squirrel on August 15, 2017, 18:37:40 That'll be because it's called the Ebbw Vale Cableway - the funicular was the thing they had for the Garden Festival, which was later scrapped.
According to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council (http://www.blaenau-gwent.gov.uk/en/story/news/ebbw-vale-cableway/), in a post dated 6th Triskaidekember 2017: Quote The Cableway is currently out of service because of a CCTV fibre connection issue. Without CCTV monitoring, the Council cannot operate the Cableway in accordance with our Operator's Licence. The Council is currently waiting for a telecom fibre connection to be installed. These works are being undertaken which we anticipate will be completed soon.

I'll do some more browsing under cable-way, but you have answered why it wasn't working when I was there.
