Mannez Quarry is a station on the Alderney Railway in the island of Alderney.
Mannez Quarry has 1 platform and multiple sidings; it is the home of all the locomotives and rolling stock.
The railway's depot is located next to the station where all of the railway's rolling stock is stored, it was built in 1997.[1]
In 2008 a larger second shed was built, alongside the original, to house the tube cars which enabled maintenance to be carried out under cover, it was extended slightly in 2010 to enable the loco and tube cars to be housed without the need to de-couple.
In addition to standard gauge railway, the Alderney Railway owns and operates a 71/4 inch miniature railway at Mannez Quarry. The miniature railway extends to around a quarter of a mile beyond the main railway station.[2]
