The Beeching cuts of the 1960s saw the low level platforms closed on 14 February 1966[REF] and services to Chester Northgate withdrawn on 9 September 1968,[REF] leaving only the Wrexham - Bidston line to serve the high-level platforms.
Between 2009 and 2010, both sets of platforms were refurbished as part of a £1.5 million modernisation scheme.
