that the future was bleak, and the ordinary passenger service over the Ruthin to Corwen part of the line was closed on 2 February 1953; however in the summer months a periodical Land Cruise train traversed the line as part of a circular tour. A passenger service from Denbigh to Ruthin continued, as the final part of a service from Chester via Mold. On 30 April 1962 the remaining passenger service ceased, as did the ordinary goods service to Ruthin; the line closed completely on 1 March 1965. Future In February 2020 Brian Jones, a local councillor and lead member for transport at Denbighshire Council, stated he hopes the line can obtain some of the UK Government's £500m fund for reversing the 1960s Beeching cuts. The site of Denbigh railway station is now occupied by a retail park, but the former Corwen railway station remains intact as retail premises. The rail union RMT has however called the Government fund a "drop in the ocean". A railway station is due to open in Corwen in 2021 as part of the extension of the heritage Llangollen Railway.
