Move

This should probably move to St Albans City railway station as a logical dab already exists. MRSC 15:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Morwen - Talk 16:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Me too. Done. -- ALoan (Talk) 16:30, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If this move will work then i guess i support. Simply south 20:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure I'm keen on it having a title that doesn't match the station name; OTOH, I don't have any immediate better suggestions that don't add a long-winded suffix. —Sladen (talk) 16:06, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ther are quite a few sources which suggest the name 'St Albans City': First Capital Connect (look under "How is my train running?"), St Albans District Council on the station car park, St Albans Museum, etc Simply south (talk) 17:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above comments on the station name, worth pointing out also that National Rail's website uses the 3-letter abbreviation SAC suggestive of the City suffix; Abbey station is SAA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.101.165 (talk) 19:20, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lifts

Lifts are currently being installed on the station footbridge as part of the Thameslink Programme, is it worth adding this to page? 81.144.251.46 (talk) 09:07, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would say yes. Use info like that at work for passengers! Amgmichael (talk) 16:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Changes

The station has recently undergone a complete refurbishment and modernization. The main station building has been extended, to incorporate a new ticket issuing area, and to allow for an additional shop to be placed on platform 1. In addition to this, the station was modernized to be wheelchair friendly.

^ Feel free to modify this slightly. I think it needs to be posted on the main article as the photograph and details are no out of date. --86.5.94.33 (talk) 19:02, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History of the station's name

I feel this needs to mentioned in this article especially if reliable sources can be cited. I discovered from watching Video 125's production Midland Mainline, which was produced in 2000, that the station was called St Albans at the time and the City suffix was removed in 1988 shortly before the launch of Thameslink services. I looked back through the history of the article and discovered the station still had the name St Albans without the suffix in images taken in 2007. However, I have so far not been able to find out when the City suffix was officially reinstated (on the station's signs anyway) but it must have been by 2018 when the current image of the station entrance was taken.
