Pant Halt railway station served the hamlet of Pant-pastynog, Denbighshire, Wales, from 1905 to 1915 on the Pontcysyllte branch.

History

The station was opened on 1 May 1905 by the Great Western Railway when they introduced railmotor services from Wrexham General station as far as Wynn Hall Halt.{{cite book|last=Quick|first=M E|title=Railway passenger stations in England, Scotland and Wales - a chronology|year=2002|publisher=Railway and Canal Historical Society|location=Richmond|page=331|oclc=931112387}} It was situated on the south side of the B5097. It had no station buildings or any other facilities but nearby was The Pant Brickworks, which was served by rail. The station closed on 22 March 1915 after losing to the competition of the newly introduced bus services. The Pontcysyllte branch remained in use for goods traffic until 1953, and after that the line to the south of Pant was closed and lifted, but the section of the line from Pant northwards remained open to serve the brick works. The station's final use was a rail tour on 18 April 1959. The section of the line finally closed on 14 October 1963, and the line was lifted in 1964.{{cite web|url=http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/p/pant_halt/index.shtml|title=Disused Stations:Pant Halt|work=Disused Stations|access-date=20 May 2021}}
