Meliden
(1905 - 1930 )
Meliden was a goods station which opened with the Prestatyn to Dyserth line in 1905 and it was upgraded to a passenger station with very basic facilities consisting of nothing more than a
low level platform with a timber building on a loop, located on the western side of the line. There was the existing goods yard, comprising two sidings. One siding ran through the stone-built
goods shed
When the station opened there were 8 services in each direction during the summer months which reduced to 5 during the winter, and no Sunday service, but by the summer of 1906 this had improved to 14 trains a day in each direction and by 1911 the service frequency had built up to 16 trains in each direction Monday to Friday and 15n on Saturdays
By 1930, there was strong road competition which led to the LMS withdrawing passenger services on September 22 1930
Stone trains continued to pass through the station site regularly until September 7 1973 and in 1980 the track was lifted
The track-bed became a footpath but the goods shed survived closure and in 2017 it received a grant of over £1 million for a restoration project
