St Asaph
(1858 - 1965)
St Asaph station was opened on October 5 1858 on the single track route between Rhyl and Denbigh
It was originally provided with 1 platform but another was added in 1877 when a loop was installed at the station so that trains could pass. The station had a brick-built 2-storey building which provided the usual facilities on the northbound platform and a brick-built waiting shelter on the Denbigh platform and the platforms were connected by a footbridge
The goods yard was on the west side of the station and had a loading dock for handling livestock
At the time of opening St Asaph station was served by 4 trains per day running between Rhyl and Denbigh and over the years passenger services had increased and by 1947 St Asaph was served by 8 trains in each direction
During the 1950s, passenger services had decreased to only a couple of trains in each direction and on September 19 1955 regular passenger services were withdrawn
Goods services continued to operate through St Asaph until March 1 1965 when the Vale of Clwyd Line was closed completely
The main station building still stands today and the station site is in use as a building supplies yard and part of the northbound platform also survives
