Garston railway station serves the Garston area of Watford in Hertfordshire, England. It is the second station on the St Albans Branch Line after leaving Watford Junction. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Midland.

Like all the other stations on the branch, Garston is now a simple unstaffed halt, but at the time of its opening in 1966 this was a welcome addition to a branch which was otherwise being heavily rationalised.

[edit] Future

Possible changes on the line include new means of buying tickets, and the restoration of a passing loop at Bricket Wood, which would facilitate a 30-minute train service.
