Welwyn North railway station

Welwyn North railway station serves the villages of Digswell and Welwyn in Hertfordshire, England. The station is located 22 miles north of London King's Cross, on the East Coast Main Line. Train services are currently provided by Thameslink and Great Northern.

Although the station is north of Welwyn Garden City, the village of Welwyn is about 1 mile west in the modern district of Digswell, which in 1865 was known as High Welwyn and is shown on maps of that period. It is still called High Welwyn as Digswell Parish was dissolved in 1926 when it became absorbed into Welwyn Garden City. Just to the south the line passes over the Welwyn Viaduct, and to the north through two tunnels. This section is a significant bottleneck where four lines are reduced to two.
