Onchan Head was once the first official stopping place on the Manx Electric Railway and is less than one mile from the southern terminus. It was a popular destination for holidaymakers for many years as it served theWhite City pleasure grounds, closed in the early 1980s. It still has its own run-round loop and for many years short workings shuttled between Derby Castle Station and here, such was the demand of the amusement park with its wooden roller coaster and traditional atrractions. A shelter, also encompassing booking office, was removed after the adjacent park closed down but in the late 1990s a modern bus shelter was erected here serving both the railway and bus services in the area.
