I think that you have got the wrong route here, as this station you have named is situated on the GWR Chester to Shrewsbury line. The Rhos station in the previous posting is the one on the GWR Wrexham to Rhos branch line, via Rhostyllen and Legacy stations, that closed in 1931, whearas the Rhos station on the GWR Chester to Shrewsbury line closed much earlier in 1855.

The journey preamble states the next line to take is the GWR Rhos to Sun Bank Halt branch line.
