Notes: Rhosrobin Halt was situated on the GWR's main line between Chester General and Wrexham General. It opened presumably to serve the small community and nearby colliery that was close by at the time of the halts opening.

Today nothing remains and this former main line that saw Birkenhead to London Paddington expresses is a single track shadow of its former self.
