not from wrexham you won't, the line is still open to railway traffic !!

the old railway went from Denbigh through Mold and Padeswood through to the Chester Holyhead line at Saltney. when you drive past Airbus heading into Chester from broughton retail park you can see Bretton Station on the left. Pen-y-Ffordd station is also still there but is now a private house. the best bit for riding is from Tesco in Mold out to Pen-y-Ffordd, i did it as a kid after synthite in Mold stopped using the line for freight only.

you can go from Chester to Queensferry on the old MickleTrafford to Hawarden Bridge line.
