Llangollen station basks in the sunshine on Sunday 9 July 2023. The signals on the left control access to the platforms from the headshunt, which terminates under a road bridge. Originally they would have been the inner home signals for trains approaching from Ruabon. The line through Llangollen closed to passengers in 1965, but the Ruabon to Llangollen section remained open for freight for another three years. The Llangollen Railway opened as a preserved line in 1975, albeit with only a few yards of track. Track reached Pentrefelin in 1981, Berwyn in 1986, Deeside Halt in 1990, Glyndyfrdwy in 1993, Carrog in 1996, Corwen East in 2014, and finally a new station at Corwen in 2023.
