Manx Electric Railway stations
- Manx Electric Railway stations
There are many local stopping places on the Manx Electric Railway and, as such, trams may stop wherever it is convenient to do so; the primary (i.e. timetabled) stopping places that has station areas built around them are as follows, and are those featured on the timetabled services of the railway. The principal stopping points however are at Groudle, Laxey and the northern terminus at Ramsey:-
* Derby Castle
* Groudle for Groudle Glen Railway
* Baldrine
* Ballabeg
* South Cape
* Laxey for Snaefell Mountain Railway and Great Laxey Mine Railway
* Minorca
* Dhoon Glen
* Dhoon Quarry
* Glen Mona
* Ballaglass
* Cornaa
* Ballajora
* Lewaigue
* Ramsey
In addition to these official stations which appear on the timetables there are also a number of unofficial stopping points and request stops, more recently denoted by the addition of "bus stop" style signs during the late 1990s; prior to this the halts were not demarcated on the line. These can be found along the line at such locations as:-
* Onchan Head
* Far End
* Howstrake Holiday Camp
* Groudle Lane
* Eskadale
* Halfway House
* Garwick
* Belle Vue (for Port-e-Vullen)
* Ballure Road
This is not an exhaustive list of every stopping point on the line however. Owing to its very nature as an inter-urban tramway, trams may stop at virtually any point on the line and double track operation ensures that collisions are avoided. These are crossing points along the line although many are now disused, and these primarily feature at the timetabled stopping points.
