Pulford formerly Pulford & Dodleston
(1846 - 1855)


Pulford was opened on the Chester to Wrexham Railway as Pulford & Dodleston on 4 November 1846

The main facilities were located on the up platform (Wrexham direction) in a single-storey Tudor cottage-style building and the station had goods facilities in the form of a siding

There were six trains in each direction on Monday to Saturday and two each way on Sunday

By 1849, Dodleston had been dropped from the station name and there were four up and five down trains Monday to Saturday and on Sundays there were two trains in each direction

Being in a remote location, Pulford proved to be un-remunerative for passenger receipts and the GWR closed it in January 1855 although the siding continued to be used until July 18 1959
