Sulby Bridge
(1879 - 1968)
Sulby Bridge station opened on the Soptember 23 1879 as part of the Manx Northern Railway's St Johns to Ramsey line
The station was provided with a passing loop from its opening and up to the early 1960s it had a goods siding. The station did not have raised platforms. Instead track was ballasted up to rail level which was a common feature on the Isle of Man network
Initially, train services operated to St Johns and Ramsey with some services going on to Douglas via the Isle of Man Railway's Douglas to Peel line
The Manx Railway system was very busy into the second half of the 20th century but by the 1950’s traffic levels began to decline as less holidaymakers visited the island and road transport competition started to make its presence felt. The St Johns to Ramsey line and all of its stations, including Sulby Bridge closed completely on November 13 1965. The line re-opened to passenger services in 1967 but closed again on September 6 1968 this time for good
The line passing through Sulby Bridge was used for a freight service of oil tanks until October 1969 after which all traffic ceased
Today, the station building is in use as a private residence
