The portal went through a candidacy for featured portal with not much luck. The areas of the portal are becoming more active with the the voting and changing of the selected pictures and articles. The transport news seems has started to be updated again but with the most up-to-date news being in this newsletter. Did you know is being improved. The portal has had a new selected biography section added to bring it up to standard. Please vote at Portal:London Transport/Vote.
As usual all suggestions to improving the Metropolitan are welcome so if you have one we would be happy to hear from you.
Please also could people submit suggestions for DYKs or does anyone want to do the next issue?
If you think there is anything else i have missed, please drop me a note or leave a message at The Metropolitan's feedback page. Also if you feel you want to do an edition, again leave me a message.
Again i would like to state this newsletter is looking for anyone willing to do an issue. This is especially for August as i am going to be too busy. I may not be able to do September either. Please help.
I have also had to give less detail on some reports as the Article Alert Bot is currently down.
New guidelines have been proposed for railway accidents. Please see WP:RAILCRASH.
Major discussions arose over the notability of many London bus routes, which resulted in some routes being kept and some being deleted. Please leave your comments at WT:LT#London bus route articles and WT:BUS. This has essentially ground to a halt.
Another discussion as well as straw poll has been on whther the frequency of trains per hour should be added. It appeared there was no consensus.

A small discussion talk places regarding which project banners should be placed on London Underground navboxes.
Did you know...
that at 44 tons, the locomotives of the Central London Railway's first underground trains were so heavy that they shook buildings as they passed 60 feet below and were scrapped after three years?
...that bus company London Country North East lost over £5 million in less than two years of existence before it was split up in 1989?
...that Belsize Park station is one of the only eight stations in London to have a deep level bomb shelter beneath it?
…that Mile End tube station is the only station on the London Underground network from which it is possible to reach any other station with only a single change of train?
... that at 44 tons, the locomotives of the Central London Railway`s first underground trains were so heavy that they shook buildings as they passed 60 feet below and were scrapped after three years?

I think you were giving my fellow Americans too much credit in your edit summary at George W. Bush. I'm betting the writer didn't even know Blair was out of office by 2009. -Rrius (talk) 16:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
I too assume it was an American; I just figure he or she was wrong for a different reason. While people knew who Blair was even before the Iraq War, most had never heard of poor Gordon until his press conference just before resigning. And then it was only because Jon Stewart made a bid deal out of it. On the other side, most Americans other than reporters are uncomfortable enough with calling a former president "President" that I just doubt that's it. -Rrius (talk) 16:46, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Unlike most of my countrymen, I'm well aware of his phone-throwing tendencies. My friends all think I'm weird for following British politics, but I think it's their loss. I mean, the entire Brown premiership was exciting political theatre no matter whether you were a Brownite, Blairite, Tory, or even Lib Dem. The best we ever get are political mini-series like the Clinton impeachment or the Florida recount. -Rrius (talk) 17:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Unless you consider those entries to be referred to by the name "Sydenham", this is clear-cut in the manual of style, I fixed the page removing those entries, and replacing them with the correct "part of title" links. I overlooked the primary topic, so fixed that too. Widefox (talk) 20:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

According to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, to be a primary topic, you have to be more than the most important; you have to be more important than all the other things COMBINED, often substantially more important. Is Cambridge, England more important than Cambridge, Mass., Cambridge U., Cambridge, Jamaica, and all the other Cambridges put together? Is Plymouth, England more important than Plymouth Colony, Plymouth, Mass, Plymouth, Montserrat, Plymouth, Indiana and Plymouth the car combined? Decidedly not, in both cases Purplebackpack8923:32, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Read my comment on talk:Cambridge. 11:11, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
This is clearly nothing to do with Wikipedia content. Remarks made by Purpleback suggest other motives, and I suggest the proposed moves are inappropriate.--Kudpung (talk) 22:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC) PS: It's actually be suggested to me now that it's part of a trans-pond cabal.--Kudpung (talk) 02:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
BTW, there are plenty of precedents to negate this fatuous campaign - the histories around the pages on Worcester and Newport to name but a few. Do be sure to cast your !vote/comment whichever way you feel appropriates on all the affected pages.--Kudpung (talk) 10:30, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybaleamphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hi, cannot understand why you switched the navbox on this article as Barton is in the Yorkshire and Humber region and not in the East Midlands region. I think that Barton Line needs removing from the East Midlands navbox as it is incorrect. Keith D (talk) 12:41, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, just looking at the North Lincolnshire article, I did not realise that this part of Lincolnshire is in the Y&H region, I thought it was in the East Mids like the rest of the county. Also because I did see the line in the East Midlands box and not the Yorkshire one I thought it confirmed that. Likelife (talk) 12:50, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited InterCity West Coast, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Preston (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, re Lower Sydenham railway station; careful examination of a 1:25000 OS map shows that the Lewisham/Bromley boundary loops around the station to its south, so although pedestrians need to walk through some part of Bromley, the station itself is inside Lewisham. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:44, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm that is confusing, it would have been so much simpler if they did all the boundaries by suburb. I'll change it back if it hasn't already - or should it say Lewisham/Bromley? Likelife (talk) 08:28, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
It's likely that the platforms cross the boundary, but AFAIK it's the station buildings, not the platforms, that count for our purposes. The boundary commissioners try not to put a boundary through a building, since it complicates matters when it comes to council tax, responsibility for public services, etc. Thus, if we could obtain a larger-scale map - say 1:10000 or better still 1:2500 - we'd probably find that the station buildings are entirely one side of the boundary; possibly even with the boundary following a building wall. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:09, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Likelife, I've just spotted a load of template additions[1] adding Template:TSGN and SE Stations. This template is quite large (absolutely huge). Adding in the region of 120kB+ to articles. Is it really needed? (We have a system of categories would could provide much the same with two clicks). —Sladen (talk) 14:37, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi Sladen, I'm a little confused, I'm not adding the whole template to any article as most have only two or three routes, I would have thought only nowhere near that much would be added to the articles? Likelife (talk) 14:53, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
Size apart, I fear the final effect may confuse readers. For example, if I expand the bar at Cricklewood railway station then I see a full list of ThamesLink Wimbledon Loop services, followed by bars for "Southern routes serving this station" and "Southeastern routes serving this station", neither of which can be expanded. Can we assume that readers will understand that this isn't a bug and that they can't be expanded because there actually aren't any Southern or Southeastern routes serving this station? Readers might reasonably object that if there aren't any such routes then we shouldn't have empty lists of them. NebY (talk) 15:24, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
User:Neby, admittedly I never thought about that, however, that could easily be changed to read none or no southeastern services for stations without those services. Would that be better? Likelife (talk) 09:02, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for checking back so late, especially considering how quickly you dealt with it. Yes, that looks much clearer. Neat solution! NebY (talk) 06:32, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

I was inspired to edit the counter after this edit which altered the count from 39 to 40, presumably to include Reading - but that ignores Twyford which is also included in the latest scheme. To make sure that others had not been overlooked, I counted the stations on Template:Crossrail RDT as follows:
Hi, there are 12 stations between Hayes & Harlington and Whitechapel not 14. The DfT, CR and TfL all say 40 too. Where you counting Old Oak and Kensal?+Likelife (talk) 08:03, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I did count those two: but surely they're all "proposed"? The difference between Old Oak Common/Kensal Town and e.g. Ealing Broadway/Acton Main Line is that at the latter places, the station is already open for non-Crossrail traffic. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:10, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
However, the proposed station at Kensal, like Silvertown, is only a proposal by Royal Kensington & Chelsea. Yes it is strongly supported but there is no allocated funding, open support or permission from NR, Boris, Osborne or the Transport Sec. At Old Oak, the article isn't clear if its planned or proposed, and normally more often than not, only planned stations are counted. Its still possible (though unlikely) that HS2 will be scrapped, though I'm sure the plans at Old Oak will happen regardless, it won't open until 7 years after Crossrail fully opens. We don't count Wixams as station on Thameslink or Lea Bridge on the Lea Valley, even though they're opening this/next year. Likelife (talk) 08:31, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
