caption_attribution_description: English: Ballasalla Railway Station. On the Isle of Man Steam Railway.
context_page_description: Ballasalla is a village in the parish of Malew in the south-east of the Isle of Man, close to the airport and the town of Castletown.
context_section_description: There are three buses an hour to Onchan, Douglas, Castletown, Port St Mary and Port Erin operated by the nationalised Bus Vannin. There are also infrequent buses to Foxdale and Peel. Ballasalla railway station, on the Isle of Man Railway, is on the eastern side of the village, and the railway operates between March and November. The station used to have its own cattle dock and goods sidings, seeing intensive use in the early to middle 20th century, but these were lost to office developments in 1985 when the station building was relocated. The A5 Douglas to Port Erin road runs through the village and this is the main route from Douglas to the south of the island. The Isle of Man Airport is at Ronaldsway just south of the village and also has a small request stop on the railway, a short distance from the terminal. Arriving air passengers sometimes catch trains for the novelty value of travelling by steam train.
