Nicky Line
The Nicky Line (also sometimes spelled Nickey Line) is the local nickname for the railway that once linked the English towns of Hemel Hempstead and Harpenden via Redbourn. It was officially known as the Harpenden and Hemel Hempstead Railway. Today the course of most of the railway has been redeveloped as a cycle and walking path, and is part of the National Cycle Network (the Oxford to Welwyn Garden City route). It is approximately nine miles (14 km) long.
