South Cape Halt (Manx: Stadd Rheynn Yiass) is an intermediate stopping place on the easterly section of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.
The halt is located on the outskirts of Laxey and it serves the area of the village known as Old Laxey and lies above the beach. It acts as a useful drop-off point for visitors wishing to access the beach rather than the village itself.
The station is notable for its substantial corrugated iron shelter with perimeter seating and a sign is displayed outside advising passengers to alight here for the beach, and keep their seats for the village, the Snaefell Mountain Railway and Ramsey.

Laxey Old Road is a diminutive request-only stop on the northern side of the valley on the climb out of Laxey on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man, and serves the local community rather than visiting tourists. It, like many of the other small stops on the line established itself over a number of years as a requested stop for local traffic but despite this, and in common with many similar halts, it has never been included on the timetable for any of the line's services. Its location is above an area known locally as "Little Egypt" because it was used as a tipping ground for the ore spoils of the Great Laxey Mines, giving the area the appearance of what looked like pyramids. These spoils have long-since disappeared and the area is a desirable residential area.
