You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Letchworth Garden City station''' serves the town of [[Letchworth]] in [[Hertfordshire]], [[England]].  The station is on the [[Cambridge Line]] ((convert|34|mi|50|chain|km|lk=on)) north of [[London King's Cross railway station|London King's Cross]],<ref>((cite book |last=Yonge |first=John |editor-last=Jacobs |editor-first=Gerald |title=2: Eastern |edition=3rd |series=Railway Track Diagrams |date=September 2006 |orig-year=1994 |publisher=Trackmaps |location=Bradford on Avon |isbn=0-9549866-2-8 |at=map 24C ))</ref> and is a stop for services between King's Cross and Cambridge.  Trains which serve the station are operated by [[Thameslink and Great Northern|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.<ref name=Butt>((cite book |last=Butt |first=R.V.J. |title=The Directory of Railway Stations |year=1995 |publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |location=Yeovil |isbn=1-85260-508-1 |id=R508 |page=142 ))</ref> On 18 May 1913, this station was replaced by a new station on a different site.<ref name=Butt /> The new station was built in 1912, in the [[Arts and Crafts Movement|Arts and Crafts]] style, and has since been Grade II [[listed building|listed]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.north-herts.gov.uk/item_12_-_letchworth_railway_station__station_place__letchworth_garden_city.pdf |title=Planning Committee Referral |access-date=2008-06-15 |date=July 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716182553/https://www.north-herts.gov.uk/item_12_-_letchworth_railway_station__station_place__letchworth_garden_city.pdf |archive-date=2011-07-16 ))</ref>

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<ref name=Butt /> as ''Letchworth'', until it regained its current name on 11 June 1999 following a refurbishment scheme.<ref name=Mitchell>((cite book |last=Mitchell |first=Vic |title=Eastern Main Lines: Potters Bar to Cambridge |year=2006 |publisher=Middleton Press |location=Midhurst |isbn=1-904474-70-5 |page=64 ))</ref> Electric operation at the station was inaugurated in 1978, as part of the Kings Cross Outer Suburban scheme, though the wires initially ended at Royston.  Through electric services to Cambridge began in May 1988.<ref>[http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/c/cambridge/index19.shtml "Cambridge - Its Railways & Station"]''Disused Stations Site Record''; Retrieved 23 August 2016</ref>

The platforms were extended initially for eight carriages, and further extended in December 2011 for 12-carriage trains.

Passenger lifts were installed in two new towers in March 2014.<ref>((cite news|work=[[The Comet (Hertfordshire newspaper)|The Comet]]|date=25 October 2013|url=http://www.thecomet.net/news/letchworth_train_station_car_park_closed_as_work_starts_on_lifts_1_2926936|title=Letchworth train station car park closed as work starts on lifts|first=Julie|last=Lucas|access-date=30 April 2014))</ref>

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 (film)|The World's End]]; it was converted into a pub named "The Hole in the Wall".<ref>((cite news|last1=Davies|first1=Alan|title=The World's End pub crawl locations revealed|url=http://www.whtimes.co.uk/what-s-on/the_world_s_end_pub_crawl_locations_revealed_1_2289823|access-date=23 March 2016|work=Welwyn & Hatfield Times|date=21 July 2013))</ref>

==Services==
Services at Letchworth Garden City are operated by [[Govia Thameslink Railway|Thameslink]] and [[Govia Thameslink Railway|Great Northern]] using ((brc|387)) and ((brc|700|n)) [[Electric multiple unit|EMUs]].

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:<ref>((NRtimes|May 2023|25, 52))</ref>
* 2 tph to ((stnlnk|London King's Cross)) (stopping)
* 2 tph to ((stnlnk|Brighton)) via ((stn|London Bridge)) and ((stnlnk|Gatwick Airport)) (semi-fast)
* 3 tph to ((stnlnk|Cambridge)) (2 of these run semi-fast and 1 calls at all stations)

During the peak hours, the all stations service to Cambridge is increased to 2 tph, and the station is served by an additional half-hourly service between London King's Cross and ((stnlnk|King's Lynn)) via ((stnlnk|Ely)) which runs non-stop to and from London King's Cross.

On Sundays, the stopping services to and from London King's Cross, and the services between Brighton and Cambridge are reduced to hourly.
