Ronaldsway Halt was Great Meadow Halt (1971 only)
(1967 - seasonal)
Ronaldsway Halt is a request stop on the Isle of Man Railway between Castletown and Ballasalla at Ronaldsway, near the Isle of Man Airport. Passengers wishing to board the train here
can signal the driver to stop the train; to alight from the train the guard must be notified in advance
The halt was introduced in 1967, to compete for airport traffic with buses and taxis but was seaonal only. At that time there was just a simple nameboard, and the halt was mentioned only intermittently in timetables.
As part of a major overhaul of the entire line, the halt received a small waiting platform consisting of built up sleepers
For the 1971 season only it was re-titled Great Meadow Halt in reference to the large field and one-time race course that lies adjacent to the halt
