Queensferry railway station

Station Road under the North Wales Coast Line.

Queensferry railway station was a railway station located in Queensferry, Flintshire, Wales on the south bank of the canalised section of the River Dee. Opened on 1 May 1848 as part of the Chester and Holyhead Railway (now the North Wales Coast Line),^[1] it was one of the first stations on the line. Originally named Queen's Ferry, the station had two lines running through it but the stretch was quadrupled in the late 18th century. At its peak there were three platforms, with one of them being an island platform, meaning all lines were served.

Goods services were halted 4 May 1964 and passenger services 14 February 1966. In the 1980s the number of tracks running through the abandoned site were reduced back down to two. Although most of the station building have gone one platform and the ticket office remain in situ.
