Background
History
map of railways in the vicinity of Hertford East (centre, shown here in violet as G.E.)]] The first station opened on 31 October 1843 sited to the east of the present station. The current station, designed by W. N. Ashbee, was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 27 February 1888, replacing the first station. The station was listed in 1974 as a Grade II listed building; in 1996 the buffer stop lights on platform 1 were separately listed in their own right. The Grade II listed signal box at the station was dismantled in October 2021 to allow for platform extensions. It will be relocated to the Wensleydale Railway.

The station features in a number of different channel branding films (called 'Idents' in the television industry) for the ITV channels in the UK. Different, but similar idents have been created for each five of ITV's channels.
