Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Guernsey Railway opened as the Guernsey Steam Tramway on 6 June 1879 with two steam tram engines, more being added later. It was later converted to an electric tramway, which began working on 20 February 1892. The system closed on 9 June 1934. This leaves Alderney as the only Channel Island with a working railway.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

Le chemin de fer de Guernesey est l'unique ligne de voie ferrée ouverte en 1879 et qui ferma définitivement en 1934 sur l'île Anglo-Normande de Guernesey.
