Hertford North Station
The history of railways in Hertford is surprisingly complicated for a small home counties town. This Hertford North station was opened in 1924 as a stop on the newly built extension to Stevenage of the Great Northern Railway's Edgware branch. Prior to that there had been another Great Northern station in a different location used by trains on the branch from Welwyn Garden City (Hatfield before 1920), but this was closed to passengers when the new station was built despite its being more conveniently sited for the town centre. Passenger services on the Welwyn branch ceased in 1951, leaving Hertford North as a commuter station with regular services to King's Cross - the role it continues to play today. The modern booking hall, which incorporates a shop, is functional but lacks the elegance of Hertford's other station, Hertford East.
