Killdane



Killdane (previously Keeill-y-Deighan, or the "Church of the Devil", originating from the circle of standing stones on the plateau above the village) is a town and the junction for the Peel Godred branchline. An hourly (half-hourly at peak times) service is provided, and four passenger trains are pulled along the branch from here by electric locomotives daily.

In 1967, a ballast processing plant and distribution centre was set up by the Arlesdale Ballast and Granite Company. A motorail terminal was also opened here in 1977.
