Letchworth Garden City station serves the town of Letchworth in Hertfordshire, England. The station is on the Cambridge Line north of London King's Cross, and is a stop for services between King's Cross and Cambridge. Trains which serve the station are operated by Great Northern. ==History== The first station known as ''Letchworth Garden City'' was opened in 1903, with a restricted service; it gained a full passenger service on 15 April 1905. On 18 May 1913, this station was replaced by a new station on a different site.〔 The new station was built in 1912, in the Arts and Crafts style, and has since been Grade II listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Planning Committee Refereal )〕 The station was originally intended to have two island platforms, giving a total of four platforms. However, since its opening only two platforms have been used. It was known from October 1937〔 as ''Letchworth'', until it regained its current name on 11 June 1999 following a refurbishment scheme. The platforms were extended initially for eight carriages, and further extended in December 2011 for 12 carriage trains. Passenger lifts started being installed in two new towers in December 2013, with work expected to be completed in March 2014. To the north of the station are the sidings where trains starting or terminating at Letchworth are cleaned and stabled. Ticket barriers are in operation. The station was used as a filming location for the 2013 film The World's End; it was converted into a pub named "The Hole in the Wall". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Letchworth Garden City railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
