Viewed looking in the direction of Stevenage with a train for Moorgate about to depart, the station and railway line are on the Hertford Loop Line and were built as recently as 1924. This was not the first railway in this location though as the route of the former Hatfield to Hertford railway, which was built in 1858, used to pass through what is now the densely tree covered area to the right before swinging eastwards over the River Beane to the original Hertford North station about a kilometre away. This line closed in 1951 and the track was lifted in 1967.
