Stevenage railway station serves the town of Stevenage in Hertfordshire, England. The station is around 27.6 miles (44.4 km) north of London King's Cross on the East Coast Main Line. The station lies just to the north of Langley junction, a grade separated junction where the Hertford Loop Line diverges from the East Coast Main Line; the two lines re-converge at Alexandra Palace in London's northern suburbs.[1]
Stevenage is served and managed by Govia Thameslink Railway, which operates stopping services southbound to King’s Cross, Brighton, Gatwick Airport and Moorgate; northbound services connect to Cambridge and Peterborough. It is also served frequently by London North Eastern Railway, which operates non-stopping services southbound to King's Cross and northbound to York, Leeds and Edinburgh Waverley. Hull Trains and Lumo operate very limited services from the station.
The present station, built by British Rail, was opened for services on 23 July 1973.[2] It was officially opened on 26 September 1973 by Shirley Williams, then MP for Stevenage;[nb 1] this replaced the previous station which was sited 73 chains (1,500 m) to the north and further away from the centre of the new town.[1]
