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

Location

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.[2] It is 19 miles 48 chains (19.60 miles, 31.54 km) down the line from London King's Cross on the Hertford Loop Line[3] 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 Great Northern. It has one terminal and two through platforms and features a lift (to platforms 2 and 3), a small shop, two ticket booths and ticket barriers.

Platform layout

Platform 1 is mainly used for trains to Moorgate, originating in Stevenage. Platform 2 is mainly used for trains originating in London proceeding north to Stevenage. Platform 3 is a bay platform used only as a terminus for trains from London.
