It closed to passengers on 18 January 1965 as part of the Beeching Axe.

The station was built at a high-level above King Street, close to its junction with Llangollen Road.

The line was double track between Ruabon and Llangollen and there was a signal box at Acrefair.

The Ruabon Brook Tramway, a goods line from the local coalfields and clay works to Froncysyllte, passed immediately below the station, crossing King Street at street level via a gated crossing.

[2] The course of the line here is now an access road though a small industrial estate.
