The former Great Northern Railway opened their branch between Welwyn Junction and Luton in 1860, long before the development of Welwyn Garden City. The railway was closed in 1965 and this is the trackbed heading around the curve to Welwyn Garden City railway station and the site of the former halt on the branch line.
