There are many local stopping places on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man, a Crown Dependency of the United Kingdom. Trams may stop wherever it is convenient to do so.
Following is a list of the acknowledged stopping places. The primary (i.e. timetabled) stopping places that have station areas built around them[clarification needed] are as follows, and are those featured on the timetabled services of the railway. The principal stopping points, however, are at Groudle, Laxey and the northern terminus at Ramsey and the following places in between. Template:Manx Electric Railway

Other stopping places
In addition to official stations which appear on the timetables, there are also a number of unofficial stopping points and request stops, more recently denoted by the addition of "bus stop" style signs during the late 1990s; prior to this the halts were not demarcated on the line. These can be found along the line at such locations as the former holiday camp at Howstrake, the Liverpool Arms (Halfway House, now known as Balladromma Beg) and Ballure Road. This is not an exhaustive list of every stopping point on the line, however. Trams may stop at virtually any point on the line[citation needed] and double track operation ensures that collisions are avoided. There are crossing points along the line, primarily at the timetabled stopping points, though many are now disused.
