How Wood railway station in Hertfordshire, England, is the fourth station on the Abbey Line, 4½ miles (7 km) from Watford Junction. Like all the other stations on the branch (except Watford Junction), it is a simple unstaffed halt. It was opened in October 1988 to coincide with the overhead electrification of the line.

Service

There is a service every 45 minutes in either direction Monday to Saturday, with hourly service on Sundays. It takes 16 minutes to travel between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey.

Future

In November 2007 responsibility for the branch line, including How Wood, passed from Silverlink trains to Govia London Midland trains. Installation of Oyster Card readers on the stations along the branch is a possibility, although there are other ticketing options too.

Restoration of the crossing loop at Bricket Wood is being considered by the local authorities and Network Rail, which would facilitate trains running every 30 minutes.
