Notes: Rossett was situated on what became the GWR's main line to the north. Rossett opened as part of the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway's, Chester to Wrexham line which was amalgamated into the GWR in 1854.

Rossett was located close to its village namesake whichmade it one of the busier stations on the line. It was also an important location and remained so until the 1980's with four tracks two of which were loops extending as far as the (then) Rossett North signal box.. The signal box at Rossett was replaced as slate as 1960, the new box surviving until 1986 when it closed.

After the stations closure in 1964 it was used on a number of occasions by the Moreton Hall Girls School, the last special being in July 1989 when the platform was cleared and a white line painted along the edge. This was part of a campaign to reopen the station in the 1980's but it proved unpopular with local residents and the platform edge was removed a few years later.

In February 2004 local community leaders were again calling for the reopening of Rossett Station as traffic problems on the A483 between Pulford and Chester business park plus congestion in Chester city centre are factors relating to the renewed pleas. Rail land at Rossett is safeguarded under the local development plan but a 1997 council report concluded that there would be little demand for a reopening of the station.

Today this former main line that saw Birkenhead to London Paddington expresses is a single track shadow of its former self.
