==History==
In June 1841 the Northern and Eastern Railway (N&ER) were given parliamentary assent to construct a branch from Broxbourne to Hertford. Work on the line began early in 1843 and the branch (and all stations on it) was opened as a single track on 31 October of that year. Operation by the N&ER was short lived as they had already agreed that the Eastern Counties Railway would lease their lines (then from Stratford to Bishops Stortford as well as the Hertford East branch). The line was doubled in October 1846.
The original Hertford station originally was opened in 1843 to avoid two nearby schools but later this was closed and a station further west in 1888 opened, Hertford East, to be closer to the town centre. Another station existed in 1858 which was opened on the line from Hatfield but this closed as soon as Hertford North opened in 1924.
Part of the route was used for the Buntingford Branch Railway, or "The Bunt", a railway which ran from Buntingford to London from 1863 to 1964. The Buntingford Railway split off this line just to the North of St Margarets station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Buntingford Railway & Local History Society )〕
