Description

St Albans Abbey railway station in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England is about 0.6mi south of the city centre in the St Stephen's area. It is the terminus of the Abbey Line from Watford Junction, part of the London Midland franchise. It is one of two stations in St Albans, the other being the much larger and busier St Albans City.The unstaffed station consists of a single open-air platform and a car park. Improvement works were carried out in 2008.It was the second UK railway station to receive a Harrington Hump to improve accessibility.HistorySt Albans Abbey was the first railway station in St Albans, built by the London and North Western Railway in 1858. It was, as it is now, a terminus; the company's plans to extend northwards to Luton and Dunstable never materialised. Although the Midland Railway opened their station (St Albans City) in 1868, it was not until 1924 that "Abbey" was added to the station's title to avoid confusion - by this stage, both stations were owned by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.Until November 2007 responsibility for the branch line was with Silverlink.
