Malta had a metre gauge railway which operated from 1883 to 1931 between Valletta and Notabile. A number of traces remain, included several station buildings, and a tunnel which is now used by a road. There is a small railway museum in the village of Attard. The Malta Railway website (unofficial but well presented and informative) has details of all these features, together with pictures, map, and historical background.
In 2008, plans were announced for a new tram system in and around the capital, Valletta.
