Aberderfyn Halt railway station

[1] On 1 August 1861 the GWR had opened a mineral branch from just north of Ruabon to serve the blast furnaces of the iron works at Aberderfyn and Ponciau.

The station opened in June 1905 on the Wrexham to Ponkey (Ponciau) Branch of the Great Western Railway.

[2] The 1906 timetable shows the line working as the 'Wrexham and Ponkey Crossing' branch, served by railmotors on weekdays only and only accommodating a single class.

[6] An impressive fifteen trains a day ran in each direction, roughly one an hour, with a short stop over at Ponkey Crossing before returning to Wrexham.

Few signs remain of the trackbed to the north however on the southern side of Aberderfyn Road the station footprint is covered with trees and undergrowth (datum 2019).
