Ballagawne Halt (Manx: Stadd Valley Gawne) is a rural request stop on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.
Like several other halts on the line that run parallel with a main road between Douglas and Laxey on the coastal section above the nearby glen at Garwick.
Facilities
In recent years it has been equipped with a dual-purpose shelter that not only provides a waiting area for Bus Vannin customers, but also for the tramway passengers. Its remote location ensure that it sees little use however and it remains another curio of this unique railway.
