Platforms
While the public entrances from the street give access to all the train services at the station, at platform level there are three distinct sections.
The Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines of the Underground system all use platforms in the sub-surface station, which has platforms 1 and 2, which are through platforms. Platforms 3 and 4 are west-facing bays used for turning trains back at busy times. Platforms 5 and 6 also exist in this part of the station, but are disused following discontinuation of the former Thameslink trains from Bedford.
The Northern line of the Underground uses platforms 7 and 8, which are in a deep-level tube section of the station.
National Rail services use platforms 9 and 10, which are terminal platforms, the former Northern City Line platforms. Train services run to Welwyn Garden City and to Stevenage via Hertford North.
