Halt (railway)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A halt, in railway parlance, is a small railway station, usually unstaffed and with few facilities.
In the United Kingdom most, if still in existence, have had the word halt removed from their title in recent years.
Where the description is still used (verbally, if not actually on the station signs) it is usually a station served by public services but not available for use by the general public, being accessible only by persons travelling to/from an associated factory (e.g. IBM Halt), military base (e.g. Lympstone Commando) or railway yard.
