 Prior to the opening of Peel Road station, St Germain's was the preferred disembarkation point for Peel bound passengers from the Ramsey Train.This was because it was far quicker to walk to Peel from here, than to travel to St John's and change trains for Peel.The distinctive station building is on the northerly side of the small village; these days it serves as a private dwelling but its design clearly shows its origins as a station.
