Hertford East signal box was made redundant when signalling for the branch line was centralised at Liverpool Street in London under the West Anglia Route Modernisation scheme (known by the acronym "WARM" to railwaymen). Unlike the 1960s signal box at Ware (the next station down the line), which has now been demolished, Hertford East's box continues to stand derelict and unrepainted for years as something of an eyesore at this end of the town.
