Information
Type: National Rail (West Coast Main Line)
Station code: HTF
Opened: 1837
Platforms: 2

Hartford was opened by the Grand Junction Railway in 1837. In 1846 it became part of the London & North Western Railway and eventually a station on British Railway's West Coast Main Line. The station was rebuilt and rationalised during the electrification of the line through Hartford in the early 1960s.

The current concrete main station building dates from the rebuild and included a staffed ticket office. Other station buildings are of the bus shelter type. A footbridge allows transfer between platforms. The station is in a cutting with ramps up to the road level.

The station is managed by LNWR's modern day namesake. There are usually two trains an hour between Birmingham New Street and Liverpool Lime Street.
