'''Gwersyllt railway station''' serves the area of [[Gwersyllt]] in the city of [[Wrexham]] in North [[Wales]]. It is one of five stations  in the [[Wrexham County Borough]].

The station is 3.5&nbsp;km (2¼ miles) north of [[Wrexham Central railway station|Wrexham Central]] on the [[Borderlands Line]] and was opened in 1866. The station used to have a signal box at the northern end of the Bidston-bound platform.<ref name=MitchellVIII>{{harvnb|Mitchell|Smith|2013|loc=map VIII}}</ref> A short distance to the south a goods-only branch line (part of the [[North Wales Mineral Railway]] network, to Brymbo) crossed the route and the abutments of the bridge it utilised still survive (along with a dip in the track formation). One of the line's main engineering features, the five arch stone viaduct over the [[River Cegidog]] is situated on this stretch of the line, but to the north of the station.<ref>[http://www.penmorfa.com/Wrexham/guide.html The Borderlands Line  - "The view from the train - Wrexham to Bidston"] ''Penmorfa.com''; retrieved 8 August 2017</ref>

==Facilities==
The station is unstaffed and has no ticket provision (these must be bought on the train or prior to travel). Amenities provided here are limited to waiting shelters (there being no other permanent structures left here), CIS displays and timetable poster boards. There is a car park behind the northbound platform, which adjoins that belonging to a local supermarket. Level access can be had from there to both platforms, though the southbound one requires the use of a [[Level crossings in the United Kingdom#Barrow crossing|barrow crossing]]. Access is also possible to both platforms from the road bridge at the south end, though this has steps on both sides.<ref>[http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/GWE/details.html Gwersyllt station facilities] ''National Rail Enquiries''</ref>

==Services==
Weekdays (daytime) the line is served by two units, providing an hourly service each way (southbound to Wrexham Central and northbound to [[Bidston railway station|Bidston]]). After 18:45 (and all day on bank holidays) the service is provided by one unit, giving one train in each direction every two hours.<ref>{{NRtimes|May 2017|101}}</ref>

On Sundays the service is roughly every 90 minutes.

There is a connection at [[Bidston railway station|Bidston]] for onward travel for stations to {{stnlnk|Liverpool Central}} via the [[Wirral Line]] and at Wrexham General for stations to {{rws|Shrewsbury}} and beyond and for Chester.
