Location

Redbourn railway station was a stop on the Nickey Line, which linked Hemel Hempstead with Harpenden; it served the village of Redbourn, in Hertfordshire, England, from 1887 to 1964.

The station was opened on 16 June 1887 by the Midland Railway. A goods yard, which had three sidings, was sited opposite to the station; two of these served the goods shed. The platform was raised by two and a half inches in 1913.[1]

It was closed to passengers on 16 June 1947[2] and closed to goods on 6 July 1964. The track was lifted in 1982 and the platform was demolished shortly after.[1]
