A single hit will disrupt this attack and force them to fly away, and they cannot take much damage before being destroyed.

They are uncommon, appearing in only a few stages and in small numbers, and are not very threatening - their sole attack is to fly past the player and attempt to bite or slash them with their tail as they pass.

This could be an oversight of the level design or may indicate the tram car frame suspended in the maintenance bay serves some permanent function such as a test-bench for individual tram components.Fliers are one of two types of Necromorphs unique to Dead Space: Extraction, the other being the Grabber. It is unclear how tram cars would enter or exit the maintenance bay given the apparent lack of doors on the ceiling or floor and the seemingly fixed scaffolding surrounding the car on all sides additionally, the in-game map shows the tram repair and maintenance bays are on opposite sides of the tram tunnel implying they are not directly connected.This may be an oversight of the developers or an intentional design of the ship given the larger floor is only present near the tram repair bay. Additionally, chapter 1's section has a flat floor with collapsible barriers while the floors of the other sections lack these barriers and are uneven due to two rows of large vents running along them. The section of tram tunnel seen in Dead Space: Chapter 1: New Arrivals is considerably wider than the sections seen in the other chapters.Only one Tram is used on the Ishimura in the second game, and it should be noted that in the tunnel between the Medical Deck and Bridge, two crashed Trams can be seen (one pinned against the ceiling and one against the floor) The Ishimura Tram System in Dead Space 2 is damaged thoroughly, mainly between the Bridge and Medical Deck.This could imply that all the panels could be raised at any of the Tram Stations cutting those Decks off from the Tram System. Some of the panels on the edge of the Medical Deck Tram Station platform are raised.

This instance being that as you get off and go to exit the Tram Station, a quarantine lockdown is initiated and you must kill the Necromorphs to proceed. Nor in Dead Space (mobile) as Vandal is attacked on the Sprawl's tram system as well as off the tram in one instance.

Tram Stations are safe zones in Dead Space as Necromorphs never attack Isaac at them, but are not in Dead Space: Extraction as Eckhardt, Lexine, McNeill and Weller are attacked by a large group of Slashers at the Hydroponics Deck Tram Station before fleeing on the Tram.
