Deleting "Proposed Developments" Section
[edit]Some options of the proposed East West Rail involve reopening a route between Hertford East station and Hertford North station. Options also propose building a chord near Rye House station to allow rail traffic to head north on the West Anglia Main Line.[1]
I've deleted this section because it is out of date and see no reason for leaving this in the article. If you disagree, the text I've deleted is above if you'd like to update it. Mindi Crayon (talk) 08:04, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
