Wrexham Exchange formerly Wrexham
(1866 - 1981)
Wrexham Exchange formerly Wrexham opened for goods services on January 1 1866 and for passengers on May 1 1866. When it opened Wrexham station had four trains to Buckley on weekdays and four return workings
At the time of opening Wrexham station had one platform located on the western side of the line. It had a timber building with booking and waiting facilities
On November 1 1887, the line opened to passenger services to Wrexham Central into the centre of the town and Wrexham station became a through station and was renamed Wrexham Exchange. It was provided with two platforms as the section of line at Exchange had become double-track. A single-storey double-fronted brick building was provided on what became the Buckley direction (‘down’) platform. On the Wrexham Central (‘up’) platform a simple wooden waiting shelter was provided
From May 18 1896 passengers using Wrexham Exchange were able to travel to Liverpool via a line to Seacombe via Bidston, also to Chester and Ellesmere Port
In February 1958 ten trains ran to Seacombe via Bidston between Monday and Friday which increased to eleven on Saturdays. Only one train ran to Seacombe on Sundays
With effect from Sunday April 20 1969 Wrexham Exchange became an unstaffed halt. On 1st June 1981 Wrexham Exchange ceased to be a station in its own right. The former ‘up’ platform was absorbed into Wrexham General as a bi-directional platform that continued to serve trains between Wrexham Central and Bidston. The former down platform was taken out of use and its track was lifted. The building survived into the 1980s but was eventually demolished
