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. Owing to its very nature as an inter-urban tramway, trams may stop at virtually any point on the line and double track operation ensures that collisions are avoided. There are crossing points along the line though many are now disused, and these primarily feature at the timetabled stopping points.
