Ballabeg Station (Manx: Stashoon Raad Yiarn Valley Beg) is a rural intermediate request stop on the coastal route of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man with a small station house constructed in 1905.

Location

The station can be found between Onchan and Laxey on the island's eastern coast. It serves the small hamlet of Ballabeg; it is on the main coast road between Douglas and Ramsey.

Facilities

In 1905 a small hut (the "station house") was built here in typical style from corrugated iron with a pitched roof, and painted in standard green livery. After some years of neglect this was restored by local residents from 2005 to 2008. It largely serves local traffic, being on the outskirts of the residential area of the village.
