The station was opened in 1866 as Caergwrle but was changed to Hope Village in 1899 [1]. The station had a small goods yard and cattle dock which were closed in the mid-1960s. The station was renamed to Hope in 1974. The original station buildings have now gone, to be replaced by bus shelter type accommodation. Access between the platforms is via a road that passes underneath the railway just past the Wrexham end of the platforms.
The station is managed by Transport for Wales who serve the station with an hourly service in both direction most days between Wrexham Central and Bidston.
