Facilities
The halt has a small corrugated iron shelter in typical Manx Electric Railway style which is regularly tended by locals who provide flower displays and keep the area smart. The station is on the main coast road between Douglas and Ramsey. To the north side of the station there is also a minor road. The site is a typical rural railway scene, unchanged for many years.
Sponsorship
