Micky, I think there was a short(-sh?) bay platform at the end of the Hertford single line, at the north end of Hatfield station, like a short island platform beside the Up Slow with the bay track behind it, so presumably Hertford trains coming and going (well, certainly this one, pictured anyway) wouldn't have needed to conflict with the Up Slow.
I believe this short 'island' was north of the barrow crossing from the Down Main and Western Platforms' island, which crossed over the Up Slow and the Up Fast & Down Main (& which lasted until fairly recent times, with 'white light' "Cross only when lit"-type indicators), so the complete platforming then along the Up Slow would've had this huge dip in it for the barrow crossing near the north end.
