The main station on the line is the interchange with the coastal line at Laxey and this is where all departures and arrivals occur; the only intermediate stopping place on the line is at the mid-way position where the line intersects the Snaefell Mountain Course used by the world famous T.T. races and during race periods trams terminate either side of the road and passengers connect by means of a footbridge.

There is a spur off the main line above the lower station which leads to the depôt where all the rolling stock is housed and maintained; this complex was completely rebuilt in the winter of 1994/1995 and officially opened it readiness for the railway's centenary. Also in the depôt is a smaller shed which houses the Air Ministry railcars used to access masts at the summit during the winter months when the overhead lines are removed from the top section of the line to prevent frost damage.
In November 2010 works commenced on a project to renew several sections of track on the Snaefell Mountain Railway. Works are scheduled for completion prior to the line reopening for the 2011 season.

Famous quotes containing the word stations:
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.”
—William Jones (1746–1794)
“After I was married a year I remembered things like radio stations and forgot my husband.”
—P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
