Weston Rhyn railway station was a minor station on the Great Western Railway's London to Birkenhead main line serving the villages of Weston Rhyn and Preesgweene in England. It had an adjacent signal box and level crossing and immediately to the south were Up & Down Goods Loops. It had originally opened as Preesgweene (or Presgwyn?) and closed for the first time in March 1855. It re-opened as Preesgweene in November 1871 and was renamed Weston Rhyn in February 1935[1] It closed in 1960 but the railway is still open today as part of the Shrewsbury to Chester Line.
After closure the platforms were removed but the station building was converted to a private residence.[3]
