St Albans Branch Line

The St Albans Abbey Branch Line is a railway line from Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey. The route is often referred to as the "Abbey Flyer", after St Albans Abbey.

The 6.5 mile route was electrified at 25 kV AC overhead in 1987-1988, and is single track throughout. The line connects with the West Coast Main Line at Watford Junction.

Passenger services are currently operated by Silverlink under the "Silverlink County" brand, using either dual-volage Class 313 or 25kV Class 321/4 electric multiple units. Occassionally Class 150 diesel multiple units are also used.
