How Wood railway station
How Wood railway station is in the village of How Wood, Hertfordshire, England. It is the fourth station on the Abbey Line, from Watford Junction. Like all the other stations on the branch, it is a simple unstaffed halt.
The station was opened by British Rail in October 1988, to coincide with the overhead electrification of the line, but lies on the original site of Park Street & Frogmore railway station which opened in 1858 and relocated from the site sometime before the 1890s.
