Port Erin
(1874 - 1967 - seasonal)
Port Erin Railway station, opened in August 1874, is the western terminus of the Isle of Man Railway in the village of Port Erin on the Isle of Man; it is the sole remaining outer terminus of the railway.
Until 1968 there were termini at both Peel and Ramsey in the west and north of the island respectively
This station was the second established terminus of the Isle of Man Railway: the first opened at Peel in 1873. The railway initially considered building its southern route only as far as Castletown, to the east of Port Erin, but due to increasing tourism on the island, especially at the seaside resorts of Port Erin and Port St Mary, the line was extended all the way from Douglas to Port Erin, a distance of 25 km (just under 16 miles)
The original station building was built in 1874 and was replaced in 1909. This building is a focal point in the village and houses a booking office, a waiting room which was once a ladies only facility and a café in the former porters' office. This building was extended in the mid 20th century: the extension is now the mess room for locomotive crews, though it was built as a ticket office for Isle of Man Road Services, a subsidiary of the railway company
