Origins

Serving the once-popular open-air Sunday Services at the nearby Kirk Braddan (St. Brendan's) Church, this halt was established after requests from the clergy to the railway company in 1897.  At this time a primitive wooden waiting shelter with basic station master facilities was installed, and the trackside widened to accommodate a gravel platform as was commonplace at little-used intermediate stations.

Usage

The halt remained open in this form up until the railway's last season but the facilities were never improved upon in all the time it was used.  Notably it was visited by the Queen Mother in 1963.   For such a small and somewhat primitive halt this location saw some of the line's most traffic in connection with the church services, with some of the railway's longest trains terminating here.  It was never equipped with anything other than the shelter and despite its popularity never received a platform (indeed it only received a sprinkling of gravel for the royal visit!)

After Closure

The lines were lifted in 1974 but for reasons unknown (it probably deemed to small and insignificant to bother with) the waiting shelter and ticket office remained in situ until the early 1989 when it was removed and relocated to Colby Station where it remains today.  It should be noted however that the original format was enclosed and the structure now has an open frontage.
