Departing from and arriving at Knebworth
Before departing from Knebworth
Use Knebworth (KBW) in the departure field and check the platform for your booked direction. Keep all tickets available for inspection, including every part of a split-ticket journey.
The station record lists access from Station Approach. Match the entrance to your departure platform before setting out; the nearest entrance is not necessarily the most accessible one.
If your booking offers ticket collection at Knebworth, the recorded machine location is main entrance. Check the collection instructions and allow time before your train; a listed machine is not confirmation that every ticket can be collected there.
When arriving at Knebworth
Select Knebworth (KBW) as the arrival station and plan the onward journey from that station, rather than from the centre of the wider area. Check your return departure separately, particularly when the return train uses a different platform.
The recorded Category C access at Knebworth means step-free access is unavailable. If you need to avoid steps, ask the operator about a suitable alternative station and the complete onward journey before booking.

What should I check when splitting this journey?
The train normally needs to call where one ticket ends and the next starts, even if you stay aboard. Check every ticket’s permitted trains, Railcard conditions and reservations. Some season and area tickets have specific exceptions.
