Sulby Bridge was a station on the Manx Northern Railway (MNR) on the Isle of Man.

Description and history

Sulby Bridge station was opened at the same time as the MNR's St. John's to Ramsey line on start date|1879|9|23. The station was provided with a sandstone building, in the same style as those at Kirk Michael and Ballaugh, and is still extant as a private residence. The station served the hamlet or Sulby, as did nearby Sulby Glen railway station, but also boasted a long passing loop and, until the early 1960s, a goods siding.

Along with the rest of the Isle of Man Railway netwrk, the station and line was closed on end date|1965|11|13 but reopened on start date|1967|6|3. The station finally lost its passenger service, along with all the other stations on the Ramsey line, on end date|1968|9|6. The line through the station remained open for a service of oil tanks until end date|1969|10, when the Ramsey line was finally closed. The rails were lifted in 1974 and the trackbed is now a public right of way.
