[1] It was provided with a goods yard, signal box and a sizeable station building on the eastbound platform.

The station building was demolished in 1987, during construction work for the A55 North Wales Coast dual carriageway which runs next to the railway at this location - the site was also altered (the retaining wall for the road backs directly onto the eastbound platform) and the station temporarily closed as a consequence of this.

Train running details are offered via telephone, digital display screens or timetable poster boards.

Though the footbridge has steps, the station is fully accessible for wheelchair or mobility-impaired users via ramps from the West Shore or the footpath from the town centre next to the A55.

Other Chester-bound services usually run to Cardiff Central, Crewe, Manchester Airport or terminate at Shrewsbury.
