Jersey Railway - Remains

Remains

It is possible to walk or cycle over the entire route of the Jersey Railway as a seafront promenade, cycle track and walking and cycling trail now occupy the trackbed.

In St Helier, the 1901 headquarters and terminus building at the Weighbridge housed Jersey Tourism until 2007, although the fine ironwork of the station canopy has long gone. The site behind the former terminus building is now Liberation Station, the main bus terminus.

The intermediate station at Millbrook (built 1912) is now the Old Station Cafe and the station building and hotel at St Aubin now serves as the Parish Hall of Saint Brelade. Beyond St Aubin, the tunnel built in 1899 to avoid some tight curves is still there, although much enlarged as a wartime munitions store. Walkers can enjoy the trackbed and its bridges, embankments and cuttings right to La Corbière. The Old Station House at La Corbière, registered as a Building of Local Interest, was sold by the States of Jersey to the private sector in 2004. Planning permission was granted to convert the house into a modern architectural showpiece.

Although there is no chance now of travelling the route by train, the locomotive nameplates are on display in the National Railway Museum in York and locomotive No.5 'La Moye' is preserved intact in South Africa where she worked in industry until 1992. Many photographs and artefacts can also be found at the Pallot Steam Museum in Jersey and in a display in the Jersey Museum in St Helier.
