| Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome black and white 49 11N 2 07W St Helier railway station was a railway station in Saint Helier, the capital of Jersey in the Channel Islands. During the Occupation of the Channel Islands by Nazi Germany in World War II, the German organisation Organisation Todt re-opened most of Jersey's defunct railway lines for military purposes, re-laying tracks to 1-metre gauge. The railways did not carry passengers, but were used to transport equipment and building materials as the occupying forces built fortifications using slave labour. Saint Helier Weighbridge station did not re-open, but the railway line was extended to the harbour, bypassing the station. Opened 25 October 1870. Closed 30 September 1936.
