Smallford railway station was a station on the former St Albans Branch Line. The station opened as "Springfield" in 1866, and was renamed in 1879. The station closed permanently on New Year's Day 1969 when a haulage contract ended with a local scrap merchant, but it had already closed to passengers in 1951. The single platform still exists alongside the Alban Way rail trail, as does the ticket office, located in an adjacent builders' yard.

Oddly, even though the station closed many years ago, it still appears as a station on online ticket retailer TheTrainLine.com, through its 'nearest stations' facility.
