Minorca Halt (Manx: Stadd Minorca) is an intermediate stopping place on the northern section of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.
It is situated next to the viaduct of the same name and in typical style of the railway is served only by a corrugated iron hut painted in the familiar colour scheme of green and cream. The hut that stands at this halt was originally erected in about 1900 at Halfway House and later removed to its present location.
The halt is accessible via a series of steps to the old road below.

Ballasholague Halt is a diminutive rural request stop on the northern section of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man, catering almost exclusively for local traffic. 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 farmer's crossings like this one. The crossings/halts usually take the name of the farmer or the farm 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.
