Hadley Wood Station is the reason for the development of Hadley Wood as a place, and the train service is still its only everyday public transport. Hadley Wood Rail User Group (HWRUG) was founded in 2015 for all who live or work here or use the station. We campaign for service and station improvements and act as a focus for communication with the train operator, Great Northern, part of Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and other railway bodies.
We hold occasional meetings, virtually or in person, usually with guests from the railway industry. There is strength in numbers and new members are always welcome. Membership is free and you can download a Membership Form here and email it to [email protected]. HWRUG is affiliated to Railfuture, the UK's leading independent voluntary organisation campaigning for better rail services. We are recognised in the rail industry as an effective campaigning group and have won three Railfuture Awards: find out more on our Campaigns page. HWRUG also collaborated with The Gresley Society to produce a fine decorative plaque to former resident and iconic locomotive engineer Sir Nigel Gresley, designer of Flying Scotsman, which now adorns the station entrance for all to see. HWRUG’s motto - IOA - summarises Hadley Wood’s unique transport circumstances: |
ISOLATION, OYSTER & ACCESSIBILITY
