Services
First Capital Connect serves Royston on its Great Northern service inbound to London King's Cross and outbound to Cambridge. Trains are usually formed of Class 317, Class 321 or Class 365 electric multiple units.
Trains to London King's Cross are either slow or semi-fast, departing at approximately half hour intervals. Slow services call at all major stations to King's Cross (not inner suburban-only stations), taking 62 minutes to arrive in London at an average of 43.5 mph (70.0 km/h) Semi-fast services call at only Baldock, Letchworth, Hitchin, Stevenage and Finsbury Park. During early morning peak-time there are some fast services running non-stop or stopping only at Letchworth, reaching London in under 40 minutes.
Two trains per hour also operate towards Cambridge. Slow trains call at all stations and take 26 minutes to arrive at Cambridge, operating at an average of 30.1 mph (48.4 km/h). Fast trains run non-stop to Cambridge, taking 17 minutes at an average of 46.0 mph (74.0 km/h). Some Cambridge-bound services continue to Ely and King's Lynn.
From the completion of the Thameslink Programme in 2018 it is proposed that there will be a 2tph to Maidstone East service.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
