The first railway station in Prestatyn opened in 1848, when the Chester and Holyhead Railway reached the town. Later, the line became part on the London & North Western Railway, who quadrupled it through the town in 1897 and built the current station as part of the widening scheme. Although threatened with closure in the 1960s as part of the Beeching cuts, objections meant the station was reprieved.[3] It has however reverted to double track operation, with the former fast line centre island platform the only one still in use.
