The station was opened by the Hatfield and St Albans Railway on 16 October 1865,[1] and passenger services ceased on 1 October 1951.[1]
The station building has been restored, and the trackbed now forms part of the Alban Way, a six and a half-mile-long cycle track from St Albans to Hatfield.
The old station building has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since June 1994.[2]
