| LNWR Station, opened 1858, ten years before the Midland Railway opened St Albans (City) station in 1868. The LNWR station was shared with Great Northern services from Hatfield from 1866 onwards.
The station remains open but with none of the original building surviving. |

The Gasworks closed in 1971, with the advent of North Sea gas. The whole area is now occupied by retail units and office blocks. |
