The Alban Way is a traffic free multi-user route along a former railway line in Hertfordshire, England, that has been constructed along the route of the former Hatfield to St Albans railway line. It runs from St Albans, close to St Albans Abbey railway station and the site of Roman Verulamium, through Fleetville and Smallford to Hatfield, ending close to Hatfield railway station. It is 6.3 miles (10.1 km) long. The route is owned by St Albans and City District Council and Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council within its respective boundaries. The former railway opened in 1865 and was in use for passengers until 1951 and freight trains until 1969. Part of National Cycle Network Route 61, which runs from the River Thames at Maidenhead to the River Lea in Ware, the Alban Way is fully tarmacked throughout making it usable all year round. It can be linked to a separate section of Route 61, also along a disused railway route, runs from Welwyn Garden City to Hertford and is called the Cole Green Way. The remains of most of the station platforms still exist along the route, with many as of 2017 having recently been refurbished along with signage and street names painted into the tarmac. A station building still stands at the London Road exit in St Albans, which has been converted into a nursery, while at Nast Hyde Halt a replica semaphore signal has been erected along with a garden and other signage. At what used to be Hill End Station, a small remembrance park has been created to remember a former mental health hospital that existed at the site. It is located in what was the hospital's graveyard, once close to the track opposite Longacres park. Most of the graves are covered and few remain intact but include a plaque describing the story behind the gravestones, including some details about specific patients. Within the section that runs through Welwyn Hatfield, three smaller stations were on route before Hatfield: Nast Hyde Halt, Lemsford Road Halt and Fiddlebridge. Part of the route in the 1980's was cut through by the A1(M) and Hatfield Tunnel and passes close to The Galleria. In Hatfield the route joins the Great North Way (National Cycle Network route 12) and in St Albans links to National Cycle Network route 6. There was once some speculation that the railway may be reinstated in the future as an extension to the proposed Abbey Line tram system although this never materialised.

Lemsford Road Halt was a railway station on the St Albans Branch of the Great Northern Railway. The platforms are still visible next to the line of the old track, which has been converted to a cycle route and footpath, the Alban Way. The site of the station is located at grid reference TL 220 087 The station was built for the workers of the nearby de Havilland Aircraft factory. This station did not appear on railway time tables or maps during hostilities.
