Details

Owing to this station's sheer size and importance as the hub of the railway's network, a separate article and section has been created in "St. John's Junction" which can be found in the left-hand menu.  This details each of the main structures at the station and provides further details of the workings here.  In addition to this article, in the future it is indended to add maps and plans of the station showing the layouts of the respective three pre-merger stations, those of the I.M.R. which was retained until the end of the railway's days, as well as those of the Manx Northern Railway and the diminutive Foxdale Railway.  As well as appearing here, short articles in the sections for the North Line and the Foxdale Line have also been generated for the sake of completeness.
