The Future of the Abbey Line

Date published:

Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) and Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) want to increase the frequency of services on the route between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey in Hertfordshire (the ‘Abbey Line’). The proposal is to convert the Abbey Line to light rail, which means that the line will run tram vehicles rather than traditional heavy rail vehicles. This document sets out our proposals in principle and seeks views on whether they are the right thing to do and includes the draft Statutory Instrument needed to enable these plans to be delivered.
