For the record I personally was perfectly happy to see things like
long obliterated railways removed from the standard rendering.
We never (well not for 5 years or so?) rendered dismantled railways -
it's the removal of those that _weren't_ obliterated but are still a
significant feature in the landscape that's the issue!
I would dispute the claim that the Hertford East<->North link is in any
way a "significant feature in the landscape".
Sure if you know about it and you look hard you can figure out where it
went, and where a piece of footpath is part of the old track bed, but
we want it to render on the primary map as a footpath, not a damned railway.
That's true to my mind even west of Hertford where it becomes the Cole
Green Way which is much less mangled - the right of way is still there
without tracks (and even has some station platforms) but what it is to
people on the ground now is a foot/cycle path, not a railway.
