Gwersyllt railway station


Gwersyllt railway station serves the area of Gwersyllt in the town of Wrexham in North Wales. It is one of five stations in the Wrexham County Borough.
The station is 3.5 km north of Wrexham Central on the Borderlands Line and was opened in 1866. The station used to have a signal box at the northern end of the Bidston-bound platform. A short distance to the south a goods-only branch line crossed the route and the abutments of the bridge it utilised still survive. One of the line's main engineering features, the five arch stone viaduct over the River Cegidog is situated on this stretch of the line, but to the north of the station.

Facilities

The station is unstaffed and has no ticket provision. Amenities provided here are limited to waiting shelters, CIS displays and timetable poster boards. There is a car park behind the northbound platform, which adjoins that belonging to a local supermarket. Level access can be had from there to both platforms, though the southbound one requires the use of a barrow crossing. Access is also possible to both platform from the road bridge at the south end, though this has steps on both sides.

Weekdays the line is served by two units, providing an hourly service each way. After 18:45 the service is provided by one unit, giving one train in each direction every two hours.
On Sundays the service is roughly every 90 minutes.
There is a connection at Bidston for onward travel for stations to via the Wirral Line and at Wrexham General for stations to and beyond and for Chester.
