The Southend Pier Railway is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railway in the English city of Southend-on-Sea, Essex.It runs for 1.25 miles (2.0 km) along the 1.34-mile (2.16 km) length of Southend Pier, providing public passenger transport from the shore to the pier head.
The pier railway runs the length of Southend Pier, providing public passenger transport from the shore to the pierhead. It operates every day on which the pier is open, providing a quarter or half-hourly service. [70] The original wooden pier built in 1830 employed a horse tramway from 1846, [71] to convey goods and visitors to the pierhead. [72]
In response, the council allocated £370,000 over two years, starting in 1972, to ensure the pier remained maintained, [139] however the pier head burnt down in 1976 and in 1978 the pier railway was closed due to its poor condition. [140] Prior to the pier railway closure, the Kursaal closed the majority of the amusement park in 1973. [141]
