Welham Green is just south of the scene of the Hatfield rail crash in 2000 and was initially identified in BBC broadcasts as the location of the accident.
Welham Green station was opened on 29 September 1986 on the site of the former Marshmoor Sidings.[3] It has two platforms and was opened by British Rail.
The station was built with funding from Welwyn District Council, Hertfordshire County Council, Hatfield Parish Council and British Rail.
The booking office at Welham Green was equipped with APTIS in December 1986, making it one of the first stations with the ticketing system which was eventually found across the UK at all staffed British Rail stations by the end of the 1980s.[4]
A booking office, open during the morning rush hour, is located on the northbound platform and is reached, from the west, through the station car park. A self-service 'Shere' ticket machine was installed in Autumn 2008 on the road overbridge, at the entrance to the northbound platform.
There are shelters on both platforms, and a small amount of seating near them.
All services at Welham Green are operated by Great Northern using Class 717 EMUs.
