Old Station sign
This sign is at the old St Albans London Road station. The station itself is perfectly preserved and now appears to be more of a children's early learning centre than a business centre. The sign itself has a fine example of a locomotive picture.

Old Station on the Alban Way
The Alban Way is a footpath and cycleway along a former railway line between Hatfield and St Albans. Although quite a short line it had stations at frequent intervals.
This is London Road Station, the largest and best preserved one on the line. It's now a children's nursery. A couple of the other stations have been smartened up by local enthusiasts but the rest are now overgrown and neglected.

St Albans: Former London Road railway station
In the past St Albans had several railway stations. For most of its life this one was *the* St Albans station, only obtaining the London Road suffix in 1950, a year before its closure to passenger traffic. It was on the Hatfield and St Albans Railway and opened in 1865. It is now a business centre, named after the residential road and estate that was built over the railway and the former station sidings, Orient Close.
