An extension to the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway line to the south from Wrexham Exchange station (nprn 87092) was opened to a new station, known as Wrexham Central, in 1887. It was joined by the Wrexham and Ellesmere Railway in an end-on junction in 1895. In 1981 the W&E line was closed and in 1998 the former WM&CQ line was cut back some 300 metres to a new station to allow development of the former Central station site.
