Braye Road is a station on the Alderney Railway, on the island of Alderney. It runs along the Braye Harbour.
Described as "tiny", it is a station on the only working railway in the Channel Islands, where it crosses a major walking path.[1] The station is one of two terminals of the Alderney Railway.[2]
Until 2024, Alderney had restrictive laws as to the location of weddings. When that law was repealed, a couple was able to plan their wedding ceremony to start at the Braye Road Station, and continue on the train to the other terminal.[3]
