Notes: Welsh Road Station was opened for the use of military personnel in on 17.6.1918. It was located on the GCR line between Chester Northgate and Hawarden Bridge Junction from where the line forked to reach Wrexham to the south and Birkenhead to the north. An avoiding line at Chester also connected into the CLC line to Manchester via Northwich. This gave the station many journey potentials. In May 1919 Welsh Road was given public status as Welsh Road Halt. It was renamed Sealand on 14.9.1931.

Passenger services between Chester and New Brighton (Wirral) and Wrexham continued to use the line until 9.9.1968 and after their demise it continued in use for a few years as a goods line between Hawarden Bridge Junc and Mickle Trafford closing on 20.4.1984. It was re-opened as single track line in 31.8.1986 but it was closed again by the early 1990's after which it was mothballed for a while and then lifted.
