Hemel Hempstead railway station

Hemel Hempstead railway station lies in Boxmoor, on the western edge of the town of Hemel Hempstead, in Hertfordshire, England. It is located 24+1⁄2 miles (39 km) north-west of London Euston on the West Coast Main Line. The station is managed by London Northwestern Railway, which also operates all services from the station. There are four full-length (12-car) through platforms and one disused south-facing bay on the slow lines.

Hemel Hempstead is one of two stations that now serve the town, the other being Apsley. Both were built when the town was relatively small, before it was designated a New Town in 1946 and grew rapidly in size. Bus services run to the town centre. There are two pubs and the Grand Union Canal, sited 110 yd (100 m) away.
