Preston's Crossing (Manx: Crossag Preston) is a diminutive intermediate request stop on the outskirts of Laxey on the Isle of Man, forming part of the Manx Electric Railway route to the northern town of Ramsey.

Location[edit]

The line crosses a small "B" road and provides local pick-up and drop-off points for resident passengers. It is not normally used for holiday traffic, as the following station is the main drop-off point connecting to the nearby beach.
