Braeside Halt is a stopping place on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man and is located on the first section of the inter-urban line a short distance from its southernmost terminus.
Origins
This halt can be located a short distance from the previous halt, being a simple wayside halt there are no facilities for waiting passengers, the only evidence of such a halt existing being the "Request Stop" signage, latterly replaced by modern bus stop signage during management policy changes that took effect during 1999 at which point a modern bus-type shelter was also erected on the site. The tram stop sign is located not affixed to the shelter but atop a nearby traction pole.
