Bishop's Court Halt was a station on the Manx Northern Railway (MNR) on the Isle of Man.
Description and history
The halt was built to serve the nearby estate of Bishop's Court, the home of the Bishop of Sodor and Man for the use of the bishop, his staff and visitors. The opening date of the halt is not recorded although it probably dates from the opening of the line (start date|1879|9|23). The halt was marked only by a bench and some steps leading down from the estate.
Although originally intended as a private station, it was opened to the public between start date|1930|9|23 and end date|1935|3|3 and referred to as Bishopscourt Halt.
