Bishopscourt Halt
(1879 - 1950)
Before the Manx Northern Railway (MNR) built their line from St Johns to Ramsay, they purchased land from the Isle of Man Ecclesiastical Authorities at the rear
of what had been since the 13th Century the home of the Bishops of Sodor and Man which was known as Bishopscourt. The railway company agreed that they would
provide a halt on the line which could be used by the Bishop, his servants, visitors and other members of the household
The Halt consisted of nothing more than a bench located on the east side of the single track line
Although primarily a private halt it was open to the public between September 23 1930 and March 3 1935 but the railway company saw the Bishopscourt Halt as an inconvenience and they tried to restrict its use. Eventually they were succesful and it fell into disuse after 1950
