 The Tunnel Railway ( also known as the Ramsgate Cliff Railway , the Ramsgate Tunnel Railway , the Ramsgate Underground Railway and the World Scenic Railway ) was a 2 ft ( 610 mm ) narrow gauge underground railway in Ramsgate , Kent , England . Following the restructuring of railway lines in Ramsgate in 1926 , the section of line between Broadstairs and Ramsgate Harbour including the tunnel was abandoned . This narrow gauge railway was opened in 1936 to connect tourist attractions and shops near Ramsgate harbour with the new railway main line at Dumpton Park .
