(Ex) Braughing Station, Herts, UK - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

Braughing Station was a former Great Eastern Railway station on the line between St Margarets, near Hertford, and Buntingford. Construction of the line started in January 1859 and was completed by 3rd July 1863.

Passenger traffic was reasonably sound until the 1950s, when car ownership started to increase. The lines demise was aggravated by a faster route into London, via Bishop Stortford, which became popular as a commuter station. In the Beeching era the line was closed and the station at Braughing closed to passengers on 16th November 1964.

The station had two platforms connected by a covered footbridge. The main station building was on the up side, with a waiting room on the down side. At the North of the down platform was the controlling signal box. In addition to passenger traffic there was a goods shed and cattle dock. Freight services were discontinued on 7th September 1964.

The station has been restored by the son and grandson of the last station master.
