Former British railway company
The Denbigh, Ruthin and Corwen Railway was a standard gauge railway line that connected Corwen with Denbigh via Ruthin in North Wales. The line was promoted independently as part of the rivalry between the London and North Western Railway and the Great Western Railway for access to Rhyl. It opened in stages from 1862 to 1865, and was worked by the LNWR, and vested in that company in 1879.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0

The Denbigh, Ruthin and Corwen Railway was a standard gauge railway line that connected Corwen with Denbigh via Ruthin in North Wales.2
Bradshaw's Guide shows the 1895 service: there were four trains throughout the line on weekdays, with two additional trains (three on Saturdays) between Denbigh and Ruthin. All the trains called at all stations.
There were three goods trains on the line daily in the 1920s, but this seems to have been exceptional; one a day normally sufficed later.
