Ballastowell Halt (Manx: Stadd Valley Stowell) is the final request stop on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.

Contents

Location

Catering almost exclusively for local traffic, this halt typifies the inter-urban nature of the final stretch of the line. Due to the nature of the tramway's construction, the cars can stop and drop off almost anywhere and will do so within reason. For this reason a great number of localised stopping places have built up since the line was completed, many at the intersection of smaller crossings like this one.

Naming

Halts such as this usually take the name of the farm or place name as is the case here, but these unofficial halts never appear in timetable materials or have nameboards fitted to show their names. Many do however now carry bus stop-type signs attached to traction poles, and these were fitted in line with then-management policy in 1999.
