[2] The new station was built in 1912, in the Arts and Crafts style, and has since been Grade II listed.

It was known from October 1937[2] as Letchworth, until it regained its current name on 11 June 1999 following a refurbishment scheme.

[4] Electric operation at the station was inaugurated in 1978, as part of the Kings Cross Outer Suburban scheme, though the wires initially ended at Royston.

Letchworth Station (Oil on canvas, 1911) by Spencer Gore is notable as an early depiction of rail commuters.
