Origins

Another oddity from the earliest years of the line, this halt operated somewhat sporadically, with the crossing hut acting as a temporary halt in summer season under the name of "Glen Helen"; it appears as a stopping place in the company's literature intermittently, originally opening to serve a nearby pleasure ground which operated seasonally, but closing a mere three years later.

Later Use

The halt was re-opened in 1927 in connection with the T.T. races as the course passed nearby and spectating was a growing pastime.  The trains halted here to offload spectators and continued on their way to St. John's.  By the end of the Grand Prix in September of 1928 it was dropped from literature, the official closing date being attributed to the start of the following year's T.T. races, believed to have been established after a casual enquiry from a passenger - another example of the ever tight-lipped management, not offering information to the public even over the slightest of detail.
