There was a fault with the emergency brake that meant it kept applying
when it should not have, so they disabled it. It was disabled for
quite a while too, before the time occurred when it was needed to work
as intended.

Some cable cars seem to have just one cable that is both support and
for pulling. The ones that traverse the Thames only seem to have a
single cable.
