Notes: From 13th century Bishop's Court was the home of the Bishops of Sodor and Man. Before the railway was build the Manx Northern Railway acquired a strip of land from the ecclesiastical authorities in order to provide a stopping place for the use of the Bishop, his staff and visitors to Bishop's Court.

The Isle of Man railway tried to restrict the use of the halt and it was taken out of use after 1850. There were no signs, buildings or platform with only a bench being provided for waiting passengers and a flight of steps down to the halt from the estate.

Although primarily a private halt it was open to the public between 23.9.1930 - 3.3.1935 and was advertised as Bishopscourt Halt.
