Services
Monday to Saturdays, trains operate half-hourly on First Capital Connect's "London-Cambridge/Peterborough" line towards London Kings Cross and hourly towards Cambridge and Peterborough respectively. On Sundays there is an hourly service southbound to London and northbound to Cambridge.
Welwyn Garden City is a terminus for First Capital Connect's "London - Welwyn line" stopping service. Trains depart every 20 minutes to Moorgate in London on weekdays and outside of these times every half hour to London Kings Cross. A rail flyover was constructed south of the station to allow the Moorgate trains to arrive and depart from Platform 4. There is also a limited stop service to London King's Cross at peak times, notably just after 7am where a train runs non-stop to Finsbury Park and 8am where the next stop is Potters Bar.
The station is also served by various buses operated by both Arriva and Centrebus.
After the completion of the Thameslink Programme in 2018 a 2tph service from Maidstone East to Welwyn Garden City is proposed.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
