Godwin's Halt railway station served the city of Highfield, Hertfordshire, England from 1905 to 1964 on the Nickey Line.

History

The station opened on 9 August 1905 by the Midland Railway. It was situated west of a footpath that linked Pennine and Saturn Way. A siding was added in 1884 with a second one being added shortly after. A shelter was added in 1907 after a petition was raised. The station closed to passengers on 16 June 1947[1] and closed to goods traffic on 2 March 1964.[2]
