Welwyn Garden City is a terminus for First Capital Connect's "London - Welwyn/Hertford/Letchworth line" stopping service. Trains operate at a 20 minute frequency to Moorgate in London weekdays and half-hourly to London Kings Cross, evenings and weekends.

The sidings at Welwyn Garden City consist of 6 bays - currently used for the twice weekly reversal of the Freightliner stone services from Hitchin along with Rail tamper units and departmental wagon storage.

The carriage sidings just north of the station currently consist of 9 sidings with the 8 car 317/365's only able to use 5 of the sidings due to clearance issues where if they did use the other sidings, they would block the siding next to it.

"Platforms 2 & 3 are in regular use for services to/from London Kings Cross, Peterborough and Cambridge, also used for terminating trains for the carriage sidings and where trains from the carriage sidings form into passenger service.

"Platform 4 is used for services to/from Moorgate, also used for terminating trains for the carriage sidings and where trains from the carriage sidings form into passenger service."

"Platform 1 is the reserve platform and is not in regular use"
