The Light Rail Scheme
Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) and The Department for Transport (DfT) want to increase the frequency of services on the Abbey Line.  

The organisations are currently working together with Network Rail to develop a scheme to enable this to happen.

The proposal is to convert the Abbey Line to light rail, which means that the line will run a tram-like service rather than traditional heavy rail. 

This will bring significant benefits to the travelling public; in particular a more frequent service and a timetable that is easier to remember.

Please visit http://www.hertsdirect.org/abbeyline for more information.
