Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ruabon railway station serves the village of Ruabon in the county borough of Wrexham, Wales. It is on the Shrewsbury to Chester Line, which is part of the former Great Western Railway mainline route from London Paddington to Birkenhead Woodside. It was originally a large station, with an extensive marshalling yard with a turntable and goods depot accompanying it, and was the terminus of the Ruabon to Barmouth line which ran via Llangollen, Corwen and Dolgellau. This branch line was a victim of the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, closing to passengers in 1964 and completely four years later. The bay platform serving this route can still be seen at the station. The original station building was Italianate in style and was designed by the architect Thomas Penson. It opened on 4 November, 1846. However, this was replaced by the current neo-Tudor style stone buildings designed by Henry Robertson in 1860. In 1870 refreshment rooms were added between the platforms serving Chester and Barmouth.
