The station is 24 1⁄4 miles (39.0 km) north of London Liverpool Street and is the terminus of the Hertford East Branch of the West Anglia Main Line with train services provided by Abellio Greater Anglia. There are two platforms, although platform one is only used during peak times and primarily for trains to and from Stratford.
The current station, which was designed by W. N.

The station was listed in 1974 as a Grade II* listed building; in 1996 the buffer lights on Platform One were separately listed in their own right.
