Established as a passing place for the opening of the Manx Northern Railway in 1879 and furnished with what was a common design of station building with twin cables in red sandstone, similar to those at St. Germain’s, Kirk Michael and Ballaugh, the station at Sulby Bridge had a long passing loop and sidings with a level crossing operated by the station staff at its northern extremity.  It remained largely unchanged in this format until the railway closed.

The goods yard was equipped with a loading platform and cattle dock, but no goods shed was ever provided here. A long neatly trimmed privet hedge ran alongside the platform with its running in board, and in common with all other intermediate stations on the north line the platform was at ground level and gravelled.  The rails were lifted in 1975 and three years later the building was sold off by the Government Property Trustees for conversion into a private dwelling.

The station was a ten-minute journey from the terminus at Ramsey Station and just three minutes from Sulby Glen Station, the next station on the line.  The travelling time from St. John’s Station was thirty-three minutes.  Latterly the goods siding was lifted but the station remained manned until closure in 1968, the final train being an oil service in September that year.  Since closure the building has been much modified with a conservatory added and garage extension in a similar style.
