Tring railway station is 1.5 miles outside the small town of Tring in the village aptly named Tring Station, beside Grand Union Canal and actually nearer the village of Aldbury in Hertfordshire, England. Situated on the West Coast Main Line, the station is now an important marshalling point for commuter trains from here for all stations to London Euston, although no long-distance Virgin services stop here.

There are 5 full length (12 car) platforms, with one side platform and two islands. To the east of the station are some south facing sidings connecting to the slow lines.
