Hertford North railway station

Hertford North railway station is one of two stations serving the town of Hertford in Hertfordshire, England with the other being Hertford East railway station.

Hertford North is about ten minutes walk from the town centre in North Road and opened on 2 June 1924, replacing the similarly named station (known until 1923 as Hertford Cowbridge) on the branch from Hatfield. It is 19 mi north of London Kings Cross. The station forms part of the Hertford Loop Line which provides a diversion from the East Coast Main Line from Alexandra Palace to Langley Junction just south of Stevenage. Stations on the line include Stevenage, Watton-at-Stone, Bayford and Cuffley. Trains on this line are run by First Capital Connect. It features a lift, a small shop, two ticket booths and ticket barriers. There is a licensed minicab office next to the station.

Services
Monday to Fridays there is a train every 20 minutes to Moorgate in London southbound, this is diverted to Kings Cross early mornings and late evenings, and northbound one train per hour to Letchworth Garden City.

Evenings and Weekends, the southbound service terminates at London Kings Cross and is half-hourly. The northbound service is hourly to Stevenage.

Proposed developments
Some options of the proposed East West Rail Link involve reopening a route between Hertford East railway station and Hertford North railway station.
