Wrexham Train Stations Face Struggles with Service and Punctuality

Four train stations in Wrexham are ranked poorly for service and punctuality, causing frustration among commuters in the area

Wrexham: It’s been a rough ride for four of the five train stations in Wrexham. They’re sitting pretty low on the list for service and punctuality. Chirk is really struggling, landing in the bottom 50 out of over 2,600 stations in the UK.

Recent data shows that only 22% of trains at Chirk were on time over the last three months. That’s pretty dismal! Ruabon isn’t doing much better, with just 25% of its services arriving as scheduled. Wrexham General and Gwersyllt are also in the mix, but they’re slightly better off, with 31% and 33% on-time rates, respectively.

Wrexham Central is the only one that’s not in the bottom tier, managing to get 49% of its trains on time. Still, 8% of those services were cancelled, which isn’t great either. A spokesperson from Transport for Wales acknowledged the issues, saying that recent storms and landslips have caused major disruptions.

They’re working on it, though! New trains have been introduced, and they’re trying to improve performance. They even saw a 27% increase in trains arriving on time recently. Fingers crossed things get better for Wrexham commuters soon!
