					<description><![CDATA[The recent acquisition of a large batch of old photos has furnished us with some interesting new insights into the Malta railway after closure in 1931. After services were ended in 1931, most of the railway property was divided amongst Government departments. Hamrun station, however, remained as the thriving campus for the technical school. It [&#8230;]]]></description>

Amongst these, shown above, was a new and unpublished image that gives new insight on one of the more enigmatic buildings on the line. The ticket office at Hamrun station was added after the line fell under [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I finally found a good quality version of this old postcard of Birkirkara station on the Malta Railway. I&#8217;ve had one version of it for many years, but it was heavily retouched by the publisher, and not very reliable in the details. The card was posted in 1914 and shows the station after rebuilding in [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Rifling again through the drawings collections of National Archives of Malta, I returned to a set of plans for the Malta Electric Railway. My attention was first focussed on drawings showing the relationship with the Malta Railway, the “Government Railway”, but then expanded to cover the whole of this mysterious proposal. &#160; There is virtually [&#8230;]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a lovely alternative angle on Valletta station scanned from a glass lantern slide, with some important detail that helps date it. A train is just pulling into the recently extended station platform [&#8230;]]]></description>

The main building can be clearly seen but in an incomplete state. Also visible is a contractors truck and temporary railway, but beyond these curiosities is another feature: a small stone-built cabin. This [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Back in 2024, the surviving Malta Railway station building in Hamrun underwent restoration and received a refreshed new look. Strikingly, the colour was transformed from the familiar off-white to a vivid red and green. The restoration was diligently undertaken by Bezzina &#38; Cole architect and engineers and with oversight from Government conservation officers. It was [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty extraordinary that around 60% of the trees in Birkirkara&#8217;s station gardens survive from when they were first planted by the Malta railway over a century ago. They were originally introduced along station platforms to offer shade for passengers waiting for trains, but later, the embellishment of the stations with elaborate garden planting, was [&#8230;]]]></description>

From a private collection, newly discovered drawings provide more insight into the proposed ‘lift bridge, a feature required by the British Military authorities to protect Valletta from potential attack through the tunnel. &#160;&#160;&#160; [&#8230;]]]></description>
