Connah's Quay railway station
Connah's Quay railway station was a railway station located to the north of Connah's Quay, Flintshire, Wales on the south bank of the canalised section of the River Dee. Opened on 1 September 1870 as part of the Chester and Holyhead Railway (now the North Wales Coast Line),[1] the station had two platforms linked by a footbridge. The down platform contained the two storey station building where the ticket office and waiting rooms were located. The opposite platform had only a basic waiting shelter. From its opening day to 1904 it formed a terminus of the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway.[2]
One incident of note in the station's history occurred just before it closed down. On 29 August 1965 a diesel unit train caught fire, injuring nine passengers and the three crew members.[3] Goods services were halted on 1 November 1952 and the station was closed fully on 14 February 1966.[4]
