The route is still open today as part of the Shrewsbury to Chester Line. Originally, there was a level crossing just south of the platforms but this has been reduced to the status of a foot and cycleway crossing. To the south of the station there were once goods loops on both sides of the line as well as extensive sidings on the east side. Part of the old Up (southbound) platform still survives. The double track on the Wrexham to Chester section was singled in 1983 but has been redoubled between Rossett and Saltney, with work finally completed in April 2017 (a year later than scheduled).[2][3] Historical servicesRossett station was not served by the express trains that ran on this route and only local trains stopped here. According to the Official Handbook of Stations the following classes of traffic were being handled at this station in 1956: G, P, F, L, H, C and there was a one-ton crane.[4] Re-opening planAccording to the Scott Wilson Report compiled for the Chester to Shrewsbury Rail Partnership, Rossett is one of the sites on the line being considered for the re-opening of the station.
