Notes: Situated on the line between Wrexham and Shotton, which
was later extended to Bidston, Hope Exchange became known as Hope
Exchange High Level. It was built to provide an interchange with
the LNWR Chester to Denbigh line with which it was linked by a
footpath to Hope Exchange
Low Level . It had no road connection being located in the
middle of a field.
On 7.11.1953 the station was renamed as Hope High Level. The
station was never particularly busy and was situated less than
half a mile from Penyffordd station which did have road connects.
Penyffordd remains open today but Hope High Level closed to passengers
on 1.9.1958. Its platforms can easily be seen from Penyffordd
Station.
