I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly) that one can reverse at or near the present Wrexham Central, on to the Chester -- Shrewsbury line. So, next closed station:

Johnstown & Hafod

Prior to that was the original station of Rhos on this line (different than the one on the GWR branch line) that closed as long ago as 1855...but to continue...

"He who shall not be named" has got Johnstown & Hafod, and "Rhos (1st)" the wrong way round (I was cutting corners in my haste !)
