Ruabon
(1846 - )
Ruabon station had an extensive marshalling yard with a turntable and goods depot accompanying it, and was the terminus of the Ruabon to Barmouth line which ran via Llangollen, Corwen and Dolgellau.
This branch line was a victim of the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, closing to passengers in 1965 and completely three years later[
The original station building opened on November 4 1846, however, this was replaced by the current stone buildings in 1860. In 1870, refreshment rooms were added between the platforms serving Barmouth
Following further cuts in the national railway service, Ruabon station became an unstaffed halt in 1974 and all ticketswere bought prior to travel or on the train.
Train running information is offered via digital displays, automatic announcements, timetable posters and customer help points on each platform
In 2009, Ruabon station was refurbished at a cost of £70,000 with new shelters, lighting and passenger information system screen.
The main buildings on platform 2 are privately occupied
