Southend Pier Railway
The Southend Pier Railway is a narrow gauge railway in the English seaside resort of Southend-on-Sea. It runs the length of Southend Pier, providing public passenger transport from the shore to the pier head.
==Operation==
The line is owned and operated by Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, and operates every day the pier is open. The normal service uses a single train, and runs every half-hour. At peak times a two train service is operated, providing a 15-minute interval service. Trains operate between stations known as ''Shore'' and ''Pier Head'' with no intermediate stops.
Although once electrified, train service is currently provided by two diesel trains, running on narrow gauge track. Each train consists of a diesel-hydraulic locomotive at the southern end, five trailer coaches and at the northern end, a driver control unit with passenger space. One train is named ''Sir John Betjeman'', and the other ''Sir William Heygate''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Transport Miscellany article on the Southend Pier Railway )〕
A twin track island platform is provided at each terminus, and there is a passing loop in mid-pier, otherwise the line is single tracked. The pier head terminus is in the open air, but the shore terminus is enclosed, and also provides rail access to a workshop for maintaining the trains. The Southend Pier Museum is situated below the shore station.〔
