Scarffe's Crossing is a diminutive and little-used request stop on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man

Location

The halt is located off the main Douglas to Laxey road and is positioned on a farm crossing providing resident access only. It is one of many rural request stops along the line still known by their colloquial name (usually named after the farmer who farms nearby)

Facilities

Until 1999 the stop never had an "official" stop board in place. Despite being unofficially named the halt has a simple bus stop-type sign affixed to the overhead pole.
