Flint railway station () serves the town of Flint in Flintshire, North Wales. It is located on the North Wales Coast Line and is managed by Transport for Wales, which provides most of the passenger trains that call here; some Avanti West Coast services also serve the station. In July 2008, it was voted UK Station of the Year.
History The station was opened on 1 May 1848.
The facilities at the station were expanded and opened on 14 May 1979, including a new park & ride facility, a platform extension and a new public address system.
Facilities The station is staffed through the day, with the ticket office inside the main building on platform 2. A self-service ticket machine is provided for use and for collecting advance purchase tickets. A waiting room is provided on the eastbound side (platform 1), with digital information screens, timetable posters and help points on both platforms. A stepped footbridge connects the two platforms, but step-free access to both sides is provided via a public footpath passing beneath the railway.
In 2024, it was announced that the station would install a new footbridge and lift with funding coming from the Department for Transport's Access for All programme. The lifts were opened in October 2025, alongside changes to the car park "to ensure accessible spaces close to the drop-off point".
