Fennant Road 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 rail motors on weekdays only and only accommodating a single class.

Trains from Wrexham first stopped at Rhostyllen and then Legacy before running down to Fennant Road, Aberderfyn and Ponkey Crossing.

[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.
