This isn't a historic line, it's an existing, active line: http://osm.cdauth.de/route-manager/relation.php?id=142019 As you can see the southern end extends beyond the junction with the main line (about 1km east of my house...) down to the next station. Somebody has in fact added the old Buntingford Branch line (which came off the Hertford East Branch) which no longer exists. That does seem to terminate where it comes off the Hertford East Branch: http://osm.cdauth.de/route-manager/relation.php?id=148560 In fact it terminates just before the Hertford East Branch, presumably because whoever put it in didn't know how it used to cross the Lee Navigation, though the footpath there (which I always thought was a bit odd) looks like a good bet for the old route. Maybe I should go out and investigate that sometime...
