Welwyn North Station, with an Up stopping train
View northward, towards Hitchin and the North; ex-Great Northern ECML. The train is probably from Cambridge, via Hitchin, to King's Cross, typically - in those days - headed by a B1 4-6-0, No. 61099. This was a two-track bottleneck on the ECML, which still exists today owing to the cost of duplicating a large viaduct and two tunnels.

The view from on top of the tunnel
Taken from the footpath that runs along the top of the tunnel the return sand empties from Kings Cross goods head back north to Fen Drayton. Welwyn North station can be seen in the background.This is still a bottle neck on the East Coast railway and causes delay as either side of the tunnels and viaduct the line returns to four tracks.

Welwyn North station, with Up train, ECML 1992
View northward from footbridge, towards Hitchin and the North: ex-GNR London - Doncaster section of the East Coast Main Line. This is a very busy section needing widening, but which has to remain two-track only because of the expense of the widening the Welwyn Viaduct and two Tunnels. Electrification King's Cross - Hitchin dates from 1976 and the local train approaching is a Class 317 EMU.

Welwyn North railway station (1)
Despite Digswell being the nearest village the station was opened as Welwyn by the Great Northern Railway in 1850, only becoming Welwyn North when the station in Welwyn Garden City was opened in 1926. In the distance the railway disappears into the southern of the two Welwyn tunnels. The area on the left was once a goods yard but is now one of the station car parks.
