Ballig Halt
Ballig Halt (Manx: Stadd Valley Ny Lhigg) is a stop on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man. Location A rural wayside area, 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. Naming Crossings and halts such as this one 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.
