The Buckley Railway commenced here in 1862 and went down to Connah's Quay docks. Two years later the W. M. & Q. C. Railway was completed from Wrexham to Queensferry and, one mile short of Buckley, veered down to Hawarden. A branch at the present Buckley Junction joined the original Buckley Railway near Etna Works just beyond the original Buckley Station. Shortly afterwards, the latter station fell into disuse. On the left is a siding to accept the 3' 6" gauge shipping boxes of Hancock's tramway. From here the line descends sharply to Connah's Quay. The last passenger service was in 1895.
