Ponkey Crossing Halt railway station

Ponkey Crossing Halt railway station served the southern area of Ponciau,[2] a village that lies within the community of Rhosllanerchrugog in Wales.

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

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

Trains from Wrexham first stopped at Rhostyllen and 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.
