Rail Connections
Watford Junction
Watford Junction is the main connecting station on the Abbey Line, and here you can find other train companies offering services to a wide variety of places across the UK. London Northwestern Railway offer fast and semi-fast trains to London Euston, Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Liverpool, Crewe and many destinations in between.
LNW RailwayAbbey Line Days Out!
Abbey Line Days Out! is an initiative aimed at encouraging the local community to travel to events and attractions using the Abbey line train services. The scheme also has a ‘passport’ featuring selected attractions in Watford and St Albans where visitors can get their passport stamped when they visit. The ‘passport’ also has ‘to do lists’ to help and encourage young train passengers, covering topics such as; ‘Planning a journey and at the station, On the train, Safety and train signs’. It is a great introduction to the trains, especially for young ones travelling on the train for the first time.
A copy of the Abbey Line Days Out Passport can be picked up at one of our events.
