Services

The service runs to Moorgate via Highbury & Islington. The service uses Class 717 EMUs, as these are the only units cleared to Moorgate.

The typical off-peak weekday service is one train every half an hour to Moorgate and one train every half an hour to Stevenage.[3] Before the fifth platform at Stevenage was built, one hourly northbound service used to terminate at Hertford North.

At weekends, the service is half-hourly to Moorgate and half-hourly to Stevenage. Southbound trains no longer run to London King's Cross on weekdays after 22.00 or at weekends since the December 2015 timetable change.
