Hertford North railway station
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.

Hertford North station frontage by the crossing
This station is on what was known as the Hertford Loop from Stevenage to Wood Green. The main East Coast route is via Welwyn . The Hertford loop is used for diversions when engineering work takes place on the main line. There is a good suburban rail service to London Moorgate via Finsbury Park and a direct service to Stevenage northbound but not so frequent as the London bound trains.When the line was first electrified in the 1970s there was even an hourly all night service from London Kings cross after midnight. Wow that was good for nights out !
