Ballafayle (Kerruish) Halt (Manx: Stadd Valley Fayle Kerruish) is an intermediate stopping point on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man. Like many such intermediate stopping points, it is not marked on most maps, nor is it shown on the railway timetable.
Location[edit]
It is at or near the easternmost point on the Manx Electric Railway, about 5 km SE of Ramsey. The area in which it is situated is home to two farms, which has led over time to there being two named stopping points on the railway, denoting each farmer's name. Ballafayle (Kerruish) was once at the farm of the island's Chairman of the Executive Council, Sir Charles Kerruish.
