Chester to Mold Railway
(1848 - 1962)
The Mold Railway was a railway line in north east Wales opened in 1849 linking Mold to Chester. It was later included as part of the Chester to Denbigh line which opened in 1869
linking Mold to Denbigh
Passenger numbers across the Mold Railway declined throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. All passenger services to Mold and Denbigh were withdrawn in 1962. The line between Hope Low Level railway station and Saltney Junction was lifted almost immediately, but freight trains continued to use the spur from Hope Penyffordd to serve a chemical factory north of Mold until March 1983, and the last remnant of the line was lifted in 1985
The site of Mold Railway station is now occupied by a supermarket
