Roundwood Halt railway station co-served the town of Harpenden, Hertfordshire, England from 1927 to 1949 on the Nickey Line.

History

[edit]

The station opened on 8 August 1927 by the Midland Railway. It was situated south of the junction on Roundwood Road. It was planned to serve a housing development in Harpenden. This didn't last long, thus the station closed on 16 June 1947.[1][2]
