HistoryOpened 1 April 1889 by the London and North Western Railway,[1] it was served by what is now the North Wales Coast Line between Chester, Cheshire and Holyhead, Anglesey. It was the location of experimental trackside water troughs, from which passing steam locomotives could scoop up fresh water supplies without having to stop. These devices became commonplace around the world, but Mochdre was the first place they were ever used, starting in 1860 before moving to Aber in 1871.[2] The station had two platforms made of wood upon which were only very basic waiting facilities and a signal box.[3] As with many other lightly patronised stops of the time, it was closed during World War I for austerity purpose between 1 January 1917 and 5 May 1919.[4] The station struggled on, not helped by the fact it did not provide goods services until it closed on 5 January 1931. The line continued to run through the station until 1983, when the railway route was altered for, and the station site covered by, the A55.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/m/mochdre_pabo/index.shtml|title=Station Name: Mochdre & Pabo|work=Disused Stations|accessdate=26 February 2017}} 2. ^Short article on the history of water troughs 3. ^Page containing many North Wales railway photos inc.
