Stevenage train station

The original Stevenage railway station, constructed in 1850, played a pivotal role in transforming local transportation, marking the end of the area’s once-thriving coach industry. Following its designation as one of the first New Towns in 1946, Stevenage saw substantial urban development, including a newly planned town centre. As a result, the railway station was relocated to this central hub in 1973, enhancing accessibility and convenience for residents and visitors alike.

Today, Stevenage railway station is a well-connected stop on multiple major rail lines, served by Great Northern, London North Eastern railway (LNER), and Thameslink. Commuters and travellers can catch trains to Brighton and Horsham via central London and Gatwick Airport or head north towards York, Leeds, and Edinburgh.

Conveniently located in the town centre, the station is surrounded by a range of leisure and cultural attractions. Nearby, the Gordon Craig Theatre offers live performances, while the Hollywood Bowl Stevenage provides entertainment for families and friends. Visitors can also explore the Stevenage Museum to learn more about the area’s rich history, or enjoy a drink at The Old Post Office, a historic and popular spot in town.
