Woodland Park formerly Rhuddlan Road Halt formerly MelidenRoad
(1905 - 1930 )
The station which opened on August 28 1905 was originally to be called Meliden Road but a week before opening the name was changed to Rhuddlan Road to avoid confusion with Meliden station
The station consisted of a short, low platform situated on the east side of the single-track line reached from Meliden Road by a sloping footpath
When the station opened there were eight services in each direction during the summer months which reduced to five during the winter, and no Sunday service, but by the summer of 1906 this had improved to 14 trains a day in each direction. By 1911, the service frequency had built up to 16 trains in each direction Monday to Friday and 15 on Saturdays
On May 11 1923, Rhuddlan Road was renamed Woodland Park
During the 1920s, the effects of competition from motor bus services began to be reflected in reduced traffic on the branch line. The passenger service continued to struggle financially, especially in the winter months, and LMS withdrew the passenger service on September 22 1930 although freight trains continued to pass through Woodland Park regularly until September 7 1973
The track was lifted in 1980 and the trackbed was developed as a footpath
No evidence remains of the station other than the original path leading to the station
