The current end of the railway system is at a development called 'The Point'. This was built on the site of sidings serving the wharf, latterly used by the Western Fuel Co.	The sidings had been lifted and a platform built to serve the tourist railway from the Bristol Industrial Museum.	The end of the tourist railway.
