Notes: Kinnerton station opened in 1891 as part of the former Mold Railway Companies double track line from Saltney near Chester to Mold. The line was extended to Denbigh Junction on 12.09.1869 by the LNWR and it would become known as the Chester to Denbigh line.

Although this line could never be described as a main line it did host regular passenger services between Corwen, Ruthin, Denbigh, Mold and Chester although by the early 1960's the only service to operate was the all stations Chester General to Denbigh and Ruthin service which usually consisted of only two coaches.

Freight services were withdrawn from Kinnerton from 5th December 1955 and the station closed in September 1961 shortly before passenger services ceased altogether.
Today no trace remains.
