Ballaugh
(1879 - 1965 1967 - 1968)
Ballaugh station opened on September 23 1879 as part of the Manx Northern Railway's St Johns to Ramsey line. In common with other Manx Northern stations that opened
with the line, Ballaugh station had a substantial sandstone station building
Ballaugh was provided with a passing loop from its opening but this was extended over the level crossing in 1883. The station was also provided with a goods loop and sidings. The station did not have raised platforms, instead track was ballasted up to rail level
Initially, train services operated to St Johns and Ramsey with some services going on to Douglas via the Isle of Man Railways Douglas to Peel line. Some shorter services operated through the station running between Kirk Michael and Ramsey
The St Johns to Ramsey line and all of its stations, including Ballaugh closed completely on November 13 1965. The line and Ballaugh station re-opened to passenger services in 1967 but closed again on September 6 1968 this time for good. The line passing through Ballaugh was used for a freight service of oil tanks until October 1969 after which all traffic ceased. The line was lifted in 1974
Today a footpath and cycleway pass through the site which has been made into a local park. The station building has been demolished but the goods shed and a cattle ramp still survive
