They're asking users to respect the historic nature of the site near the village of Saltaire, which is itself a World Heritage Site.

Richard Freeman, who volunteers as the tramway's treasurer, says: "The extent of the damage is shocking.

"People try to set fire to the seats, break the seat backs, do whatever they can.

"It's quite incredible that people would want to damage a heritage item like this," he added.

The Shipley Glen Tramway, which opened in 1895, is the only cable tramway in the country and is the oldest of its kind anywhere in the world.

It's a funicular railway which means it is pulled on a slope by a cable.

Since it opened, deep pit coal mining in Britain has come to an end with the closure of Kellingley in 2015.

The British Geological Survey said the likely cause of the landslip was a combination of factors including heavy rainfall, poor drainage and the local geology.
