Notes: Rhydymyn was opened by the Mold & Denbigh Junction
Railway on 12.9.1869 as part of its line linking Mold to Denbigh.
From the outset services were operated by the LNWR who by this
time owned the Chester to Mold line which had an end on connection
to the Mold & Denbigh Junction line at Mold. The line retained
its independence until the Railways Act of 1921 when it became
part of the LMS.
During WW2 a siding served the Valley
Works a mustard gas production and shell filling factory at
Rhydymwyn.

The station was located to the east of a level crossing in the
village of Rhydymyn. Its main station building was located on
the Denbigh platform and a waiting shelter was provided on the
Chester Platform. 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 Ruthin service
which usually consisted of only two coaches.
Rhydymwyn Station closed on 28.4.1962 and it is still standing
today as a private residence which can clearly be seen from the
A541.
