TfW to transform Wrexham General station into local transport hub
Transport for Wales (TfW) is looking to transform the area around Wrexham General station into a local transport hub and members of the public are being invited to share their views.
The rail operator will work alongside Wrexham County Borough Council, Welsh Government, Wrexham University, and wider partners, to bring forward the major regeneration scheme in the area surrounding Wrexham General station, referred to as ‘Wrexham Gateway’.
The 6-week engagement aims to understand in more detail any challenges that members of the public and businesses face when travelling to, from, and whilst using Wrexham General railway station.
TfW says this is to ensure a “wide range of feedback and potential opportunities” in the area are captured, whilst also providing an update to the Wrexham Gateway Transport Hub proposals.
The engagement period is open now and runs until 19 December 2023.

That sounds a very sensible approach. Ask the users! From the map it looks as if it would be useful if trains to and from Central could drop off and pick up passengers. That might increase usage of both lines.
