 The Tunnel Railway reopened for the 1946 season as usual . The illuminated tableaux had been removed during the war but were replaced , but this time they were illuminated by floodlights fitted to the sides of the trains rather than being self illuminated . The line was not included in the 1948 nationalisation of the railways and so remained in the hands of Ramsgate Olympia ( later Pleasurama ) . The tableaux were removed around 1955 due to increasing vandalism , and the station signage changed from World Scenic Railway to Tunnel Railway .
