Encyclopedia > St Albans Abbey railway station

St Albans Abbey railway station is situated about 1 km south of St Albans town centre. It is the terminus of the St Albans Branch Line to Watford Junction, which is part of the Silverlink franchise. The station consists of an open-air platform and a car park. Tickets can be purchased on the train from the conductor. It is often known as the Abbey station to distinguish it from the main St Albans City station. Near the railway station is the ' infamous ' smallford bridge, including a graffitied mural with giant letters spelling out the words ' Smallford Mafa ',in bold yellow outline. This is a gang of travellers and criminals that have terrorised the area for many years and still do to this day. In 1865, the Great Northern Railway opened a branch line between St Albans and Hatfield with an intermediate stop at St Albans London Road, and later Smallford (1866), Salvation Army Halt (1897, originally Sanders Siding), Hill End (1899), Nast Hyde (1910) and Lemsford Road (1942). This branch line closed in 1951 and the track removed. In the mid 1980s, the route was opened as a cycle path, now known as The Alban Way. The remains of the branch can be seen to the left of the single platform when looking down the line in the direction of Watford Junction.
