St Albans (Hertfordshire) railway station
Encyclopedia : S : ST : STA : St Albans (Hertfordshire) railway station
St Albans railway station is one of two railway stations in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. It is located about half a mile east of the city centre. It is the more important of the two, situated on the Midland Main Line and served by First Capital Connect's Thameslink service.
The station is also often referred to as St Albans City. This is so not to confuse it with the city's other station, '''St Albans Abbey.
Description
The station has four platforms, two for each direction: one "fast" and one "slow". The main entrance, ticket office, multistorey car park, taxi rank and bus connections are on Station Way, east of the station. There is a second exit to the west, to a small surface car park off Ridgmont Road and Victoria Street. Somewhat controversially, a larger surface car park to the east of the railway lines gained planning permission for a large residential development in 2003.Services
The typical off-peak service sees eight trains per hour in each direction. There are four fast trains per hour between Bedford and Brighton, via Luton to the north, and Kings Cross Thameslink (in London) and Gatwick Airport to the south. There are also four trains per hour to Sutton and Wimbledon via Central London, two of which start from Luton.See also
