Reading Southern railway stationeditWhat source do you have for this edit? My sentence was sourced (Matthews 2006, pp. 29, 30), and since that does not back up your claim, so you should remove my ref (it's the
Right, here's what I have done.
There are problems elsewhere, the most obvious one is with these three edits, particularly the part reading OK then.
So here, I have removed all of that, and placed the comments on Talk:Reading Southern railway station. The URL has inspired me to visit the website, where I have found that the full URL should be Thanks for your patience. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:28, 22 November 2009 (UTC) Wikipedia editingeditHi, saw your message at Talk:Reading Southern railway station. A lot of Wikipedia edit knowhow is practise and experience. I've been unemployed for nearly 5 months now, so have used some of the free time to edit Wikipedia, and so have improved those Wiki-editing skills a lot (don't think that they're skills that a potential employer would want though). In so doing I came across various oddities, which experience with other pages (and examination of a fair few help pages, guidelines, policy docs etc) told me weren't quite as they should be - so I often clean these up a bit. If I notice that a particular user has been making similar mistakes several times, I might put a message on their talk page. When I edit a page, I always tick the "Watch this page" option, so that I can see quickly which pages that I'm interested in have been edited recently. This user-talk page is therefore on my watchlist, so how about this.
See also the box at the top of this page, section "Getting help". Wherever you ask, it's best to start a new section (there's usually a tab at the top) for each distinct question. Follow-ups to earlier questions can be added at the tail of the relevant section. If you like, I can go through some of your recent edits to see if there are technical improvements which can be made. For example, here's one to begin with, which could have caused trouble. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:18, 23 November 2009 (UTC) CategorieseditI mentioned Category:Wikipedians looking for help above. On the subject of categories, I have reverted this edit of yours, which placed Category:Never constructed railway stations in the United Kingdom into itself. Categories can belong to other categories (indeed every category must be in at least one other category); however categories should not be placed into themselves, consider a snake swallowing its own tail. I have not reverted your previous edit; however the information that you added should really go elsewhere. Category pages don't normally contain text, other than a brief description of the kind of pages that should belong to the category. If your intention was to place articles into that category, you should instead edit the last section of the article concerned, find the existing category lines; and add another one. Use the "Show preview" button, and at the very very end of the page (way after the "Save page" buttons, and stuff like that), the categories will be listed. If yours comes up in red, it's a non-existent category; but blue or purple, and you're OK. Thanks again. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:18, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Taunton-Minehead stationseditUnder the list of closed stations are those which have been subsequently reopened by Heritage Railway Societies. I have noticed that none of the stations closed by BR between Taunton- Minehead which have since reopened by West Somerset Railway have been included. Was this a deliberate policy..?
Manchester-Rochdale via OldhameditI have not checked the Wikipedia entries but presume the stations along this line have been listed as closed in October pending future reopening as a Metrolink line.?

Keith D (talk) 21:24, 24 November 2009 (UTC) Stow St Mary Halt railway stationeditHi, I see you have removed the referenced closure dates for articles on the Maldon to Woodham Ferrers such as Stow St Mary Halt railway station but in some cases not added a reference for the new date or a comment for the edit. Any chance of referencing and commenting your changes? Scillystuff (talk) 17:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Redrose64 for your help but I am slowly learning these technical names. Question- How can I introduce a valid template name? I shall have to read about transclude templates.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 19:09, 18 December 2009 (UTC)]]
"Passengers No More" was published around 1963 by Ian Allan Ltd which was before ISBN numbers were issued. I will try to buy a copy of Butt or Clinkers books for my own reference library. Thanks for your help.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 09:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)]]
On the front title page is just the copyright Ian Allan Ltd and where it was printed and published- so far it is known it is the only edition. The back dust cover has the reference VPNM/1354/138/CXX-964. I suspect that 964 translates to September 1964 being the actual date of publication because the latest entries in the book are September 1963 so allow a year for printing and publishing.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 14:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)]]
Left-handed page iv states copyright Ian Allan. Published by Ian Allan Ltd, Shepperton, Middx. Printed in the United Kingdom by The Press at Coombelands Limited, Addlestone, Weybridge, Surrey.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 15:44, 21 December 2009 (UTC)]]

ExplanationeditYou know, I completely forgot to explain all that. Basically,
I think that's enough to be going on with. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC) More infoeditIn The Railway Magazine January 1963 p.67, "Passengers No More" by Daniels & Lench is announced as being published "this month"; so that I think you have a reprint. Thus we can add
--Redrose64 (talk) 19:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC) The copy I have states- Introduction page V- ....At the time of writing the first effects of the Beeching Report are just being felt.....

Ouse Valley RailwayeditJust a quick note to say that you don't sign edits to articles. The software allows us to see who edited the article and what was done to it. Signatures are for talk pages etc. Mjroots (talk) 15:30, 30 December 2009 (UTC) Edit summariesedit Sutton Town stationeditI have tickets to/from this station which show the name as "Sutton Coldfield Town". Can someone please clarify the name of the station as I am not an expert of the railway history in the Birmingham area. [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 10:55, 1 May 2010 (UTC)]].
Hammersmith & Chiswick railway stationeditI'm a bit puzzled by these wikilinks - the first takes you to a place in Virginia, USA; the second to a dab page; and the third to an article on the A4 trunk road. Generally speaking, on railway articles we link to the relevant station article. If you want to hide the words "railway station" (as is the normal practice), you should use either a piped wikilink:
Shield Row stationeditI have added to the listings Shield Row station which is shown on my pregrouping railway atlas on the North Eastern Railway between Leadgate and Beamish on the line closed in 1955. I have tried "google" which gives no other information on it. Can someone please confirm /amend or delete my entry as necessary.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 09:21, 17 July 2010 (UTC)]]
Noted with thanks. Accordingly I have now deleted the listed entry for Shield Row. It needs including on list of still open and closed railway stations in Durham. There are others along the line as well that need to be listed .[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 18:42, 17 July 2010 (UTC)]] Carlton (Durham)editI have added an entry for this station but please add/amend or delete if readers have further information. My research is based on I found it marked on my "Pregrouping Railway Altas" situated on the former North Eastern Railway line between Ferryhill and Stockton between Stillington and Stockton but I have no other info on it. It would appear that local passenger services ceased in 1952 but the line is still open for freight and the occasional special passenger train.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 14:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)]]
Noted with thanks.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 12:11, 23 July 2010 (UTC)]] Dartmouth railway stationeditI am aware that it was in reality a the quayside terminal for the ferry from Kingswear. I am also aware that the line from Kingswear-Paignton was closed by BR and reopened as a heritage railway.Now the difficult questions-Was the ferry service actually withdrawn when BR closed the line or was it transferred to a private operator? Dartmouth station is listed as closed but if the the ferry service did stop when did it reopen?[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 19:41, 23 July 2010 (UTC)]]
Have found it in "wikipedia" under "Dartmouth Passenger Ferry" which states the ferry service was sold to Dartmouth Council in 1972 since when it has changed ownership several times. It is my thought that the service was never actually withdrawn therefore I have deleted Dartmouth railway station entry. Van RailwayeditI have included Van Station which was the terminus of the Van Railway in Mid Wales. Although opened in the 1870s I cannot find a closure date for passengers (but possibly 1920 or before?). There were intermediate stations or halts along the line but I am unsure of the names. Hope this OK . Article open for readers to add further info... [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 17:48, 2 August 2010 (UTC)]]
I have the Ian Allan Pre-grouping Atlas which would appear to show passenger stations at the time of grouping (1923)with green blobs and freight only stations (including those with withdrawn passenger services) with black ticks. For the Van Railway it shows the terminus station as "Van" and the penultimate station as "Garth Road". I recommend leaving the Van Railway Station entry as shown for a readers reference point and adding closure date of 1879 as you mentioned above. I will add also that the Cambrian Railway was a owner of it. [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 09:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)]]
Noted accordingly. I have deleted entry for Van railway station. I have linked the station listing entry for "Garth and Van Road" to the Van Railway.Thanks[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 11:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)]] Southchurch stationeditThere is a listed entry for Southchurch on the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway-station closed in 1845. I cannot find any reference to a station with that name on the S&DJR. Secondly the S&DJR was formed 30 years later in 1875. Have you any info on this station..? [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 20:04, 5 August 2010 (UTC)]]
I have noted that the entry has now been amended. Thanks[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 19:37, 6 August 2010 (UTC)]]

Wimblington station articleeditSorry- I have made an error in amending the Wimblington station entry. The railway company needs inserting.
Park Drain stationeditFrom the article about the station it indicates that it was the junction for the Axholme Joint Railway however my "Pregrouping Atlas" shows the junction was at Haxey. Unsure whether it was Haxey Junction or Haxey and Epworth station.It needs clarification by a local expert....! Brian [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 15:44, 11 August 2010 (UTC)]]

Can you please mention this renaming date in the article on Kings Lynn railway station. Thanks-- Brian aka [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 21:42, 28 August 2010 (UTC)]] Ashton (Oldham Road) or Oldham Road (Ashton-under-Lyne)editI have inserted an entry for the the former name but unsure what the official name was?? Suggest that all the entries and article be amended to refer to the same official name. Brian aka [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 19:48, 31 August 2010 (UTC)]]
TivolieditI was uncertain whether to mention this station which was listed in "Private and Untimetabled Railway Stations" by G.Croughton. It is named as "Tivoli" closed 1876 which was situated between Margate Sands and Ramsgate Town on the former SER line closed in 1926. A quick check on "google" does trace it. Does the book by "Butt" list it?. Brian aka [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 14:25, 15 October 2010 (UTC)]]
Oxford and Rugby RailwayeditI have reverted this and some similar edits. Cherwell Valley Line is a modern term, introduced since the closure of most of these stations, so is irrelevant when dealing with the events of the station when it was open. It is not an error for Oxford and Rugby Railway to be redlinked - one day the article will be written, we've just not got around to it yet, so pending that, the redlink should remain (see WP:REDDEAL). --Redrose64 (talk) 07:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC) Agreed--- noted with thanks [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 09:16, 16 October 2010 (UTC)]] South Eastern Main LineeditI tried to make the following alterations on the route map but was unable find how to do it. 1. I have no reference or any evidence of a branch line to Lympne and recommend it should be deleted. 2. Folkestone East station is wrongly position and should be sited the London side of the junction to Folkestone Harbour. Brian aka [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 13:50, 20 October 2010 (UTC)]]

Grosvenor Bridge railway stationeditButt has no station of this name listed. Were you thinking of Grosvenor Road and Battersea Pier railway station, which is listed? Britmax (talk) 17:03, 20 October 2010 (UTC). Appologies -Should have read Grosvenor Road [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 19:24, 20 October 2010 (UTC)]] Hertford CowbridgeeditI've reverted this edit, because since the line through Hertford Cowbridge is lifted, it cannot be open. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:48, 21 October 2010 (UTC). Apologies - I recognise that I misread it as Ware station was on a line that was closed..[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 09:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)]] Waveney Valley LineeditThe article on this line states that a Light Railway Order was obtained in 1954 as a private line run by enthusiasts and some special trains were run. Can you please advise me the source of this information as this is the first information I have seen on this. It was my impression that the first heritage standard gauge lines run by enthusiasts were the Middleton Railway and Bluebell both opened in 1960.

I've reverted your change to the Midland Main Line article on this station, as although it is open on the Hope Valley Line this station no longer has platforms on the Midland Main Line. I hope to adjust the diagram to show this.

The article said "Stations on the line, whose Wikipedia articles are linked on the map, are at ....", not "named" but "at". Partly because the rumours on the track were that the full time opening of the station at Kempton was subject to SWT's whim (as suggested by the strange lack of rush hour ups). And partly in my real salad days no-one knew Kempton Park as a district but only as a racetrack with waterworks so named for lack of any closer geographical feature. Now I'd never say that the links to the stations were on the map but would link them directly. I've place names to stations' and linked them.--SilasW (talk) 23:34, 7 November 2010 (UTC). What is "WP salad days" or "real salad days"? There at many names of (disused and still open) stations around the country that are given names of places/districts that do not exist- some pub names are Bricklayers Arms, Bat and Ball, Berney Arms or try -Dovey Junction and Bala Junction as two stations with no districts/places or settlement nearby. Some stations are named after the name of manor house nearby Hampton Court station is actually in East Molesey but try finding settlements such as Baynards, Rowfant or Kingscote except for a few railwaymans cottages.![[Steamybrian2 (talk) 14:21, 8 November 2010 (UTC)]]

Midland & Great Northern Joint RailwayeditHi, Brian; I have reverted this pair of edits because although the LNER took over operation of the M&GNJ in 1936, it didn't acquire the railway itself: the infrastructure remained M&GNJ right up to Nationalisation. The M&GNJ is mentioned in Schedule 3, p.145 of the Transport Act 1947 as a "body whose undertaking is transferred to [the British Transport] Commission".

Britmax (talk) 10:55, 15 March 2011 (UTC) The track layout consists of a single line from Tunbridge Wells West using the former Down Line from Birchden Jn, running parallel with the Uckfield single line to Eridge Station. At Eridge trains will run into the former down platform. the former down bay will be used as a siding. Beyond Eridge the line terminates at buffer stops thus no connection with the Uckfield Line (accordingly please amend your track layout to sever any connections with the Uckfield line) To illustrate this please see www.spavalleyrailway.co.uk which has recent photos of Eridge Station showing some of their test trains which have run within the last few days. [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 13:56, 15 March 2011 (UTC)]] Excellent- looks good. I have tried to update the diagram map for the "Oxted Line" article to show a similiar layout between Birchden Junction and Eridge but regret unable to coomplete it. Note I have included Forge Farm level crossing. Thanks[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 11:30, 18 March 2011 (UTC)]] Railway company nameseditHi Brian. Re one of your two recent edits to Ackworth railway station: this one is technically incorrect, because the Swinton & Knottingley, like many joint railways, continued in existence after 1923, although with changed co-owners. Very few joint railways were explicitly named in the Railways Act 1921, and of those that were (such as the Portpatrick and Wigtownshire Joint Railway) all of the co-owners were gathered into the same group company. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:05, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Exmouth JunctioneditIn the article on Exmouth Junction it mentions there were three stations in the area opened at the beginning of the 20th century between Exeter Central and the Exmouth Junction area saying that only one is open today at Polsloe Bridge. It does not mention St James Park Halt which I consider should be included. [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 22:24, 31 July 2011 (UTC)]]
Amending sourced contenteditHi Brian; re this edit - please note that the statement is cited to Vallance, Clinker & Lambert 1985, p. 161. That book is considered a reliable source, and the actual text in the book is "On 13 June 1960, passenger services were withdrawn from all the intermediate stations between Inverness and Bonar Bridge, except Dingwall, Invergordon, Fearn and Tain". It's not a good idea to amend reliably-sourced content unless you provide another source. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:21, 9 August 2011 (UTC) Gas lightingeditHi, re this - Ilkley was the last one.

Have you got any info to add an entry? Keith D (talk) 11:27, 19 September 2011 (UTC) According to "Private and Untimetabled Railway Stations by G. Croughton and others" trains stopped at Farwath (or Farworth) to pick up platelayers wives but unsure whether there was actually a platform there. North Yorkshire Moors Railway also for a short time reopened the line to there but it may have been just been the temporary "end of track" but without a station or platform.

Unnecessary full stopseditHi, with these edits, you have added two full stops which are completely unnecessary. The first is after the closing Closure date of Parkhead North railway stationeditI note you have changed the closure date. The only doubt I have is that it is still referencing {{Butt-Stations}} which gives a different closure date, which in turn has been compiled from a multitude of references.

The SE&CR was somewhat akin to the modern Train Operating Companies, in that it owned the locos and rolling stock, and ran the trains, but the lines and stations continued to be owned by the South Eastern Railway and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. New stations were built and opened by either the SER or the LCDR, depending on whose lines they lay. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:57, 25 January 2012 (UTC).

If for example "What to see in January 2012 is...." is not what I quoted from a book but what I have personally seen.... which is original research because nobody else has said it. Many of the locations I have corrected above are also not what I have read but able to disprove wrong because the originator has been wrong information or made a typing error. Occasionally I have even found newspapers or books that have given wrong information which I have corrected in "wiki".[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 16:11, 28 January 2012 (UTC)]]
I have decided not to create the article myself. Other readers may proceed and edit my words directly. [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 22:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)]]
The wiki article on "Lullingstone" (village) mentions the construction of the station. wiki aricle on Canterbury East railway station mentions the station canopy. There is a very good article on "Kent Rail" which can found through "google" which details the whole history.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 20:32, 30 January 2012 (UTC)]]
Excellent- well done! Two small comments. Under "History" third line- the distance "two miles from South East London" is misleading and would prefer it to read xx miles from Victoria for example Swanley is quote 17.4 mls from Victoria. Second point- the remains of the platforms requires citation however when I am next in the area I can take a photograph and email this to you if you can provide instructions how to send a photo to you. [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 16:42, 12 February 2012 (UTC)]]
I agree on showing the mileage from Victoria of 19 miles 39 chains. If the weather improves later this week I plan to travel the 10 miles from home to take the photos as suggested [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 09:25, 13 February 2012 (UTC)]]
Today, I visited the site of Lullingstone station and have submitted four photographs into the wiki system. I saw the station entrance gates at the entrance of the original approach road. The original approach road is still in situ after over 70 years of disuse. The entrance to the footbridge is still there but there are no other remains of the footbridge. There are still substantial remains of the platforms but difficult to photograph as there are located in a cutting lined by hawthorn bushes. [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 21:59, 15 February 2012 (UTC)]]
I have just attempted to uploaded the other three photos of Lullingstone but the descriptions may need amending.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 19:45, 16 February 2012 (UTC)]]
After much effort I think (?) I have resolved it.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 13:51, 17 February 2012 (UTC)]]

I have now added that line as suggested.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 16:52, 17 February 2012 (UTC)]].
Kent Rail must have had a lineside permit to get their photo. At the site there were some new sections of lineside fencing plus hawthorn bushes which precluded any attempt to get any nearer. The surrounding sloping ground is wet and slippery and a ploughed field up to the boundary fence made walking difficult.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 21:59, 17 February 2012 (UTC)]] Fort GeorgeeditWhen I click on the listed entry for Fort George it directs me to the article for Gollanfield Junction which was the original name but was renamed when a station with that name opened.

I cannot find any record of a passenger station with this name considering it is not on the "wiki" list of closed stations.

Britmax (talk) 11:47, 26 March 2012 (UTC) St Leonards West Marina railway stationeditHi, regarding your edits to St Leonards West Marina railway station: please be careful when removing text. First, the Tonbridge-Hastings line was dieselised at the end of steam in 1967 - it was not electrified until the 1980s. Second, the item in the infobox about the station being resited in 1882 wwas sourced to Butt, p. 204. I have checked this book, and it does state that the first station was closed in 1882 and "replaced by 2nd station due east". --Redrose64 (talk) 22:10, 5 April 2012 (UTC) I disagree The Tonbridge-Hastings line was fully dieselised in 1957 and not at the end of the steam in 1967. It was electrified in 1986. This station was not on the Tonbridge-Hastings line but on the Eastbourne- Hastings (Coastway East) line. The station closed due to declining receipts and the need to incur expenditure to modernise the station which was not felt justified. I accept your views on the resiting of the station as upon reflection none of my reference books show this.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 11:08, 6 April 2012 (UTC)]] It would appear that my previous comments have been rejected although the wiki article on the Tonbridge-Hastings line clearly confirms my comments.

Order of parameterseditHi, re this edit - changing the order of the parameters won't make any difference, because in a template, the order in which named parameters is given is irrelevant: the only two considerations are that (i) a blank parameter is not the same as one which is absent; and (ii) if the same named parameter occurs more than once, all except the last one are ignored - even when the last one is blank.

When I was small, it was the X59 route, which was a long Oxford-Rugby service operated jointly by Midland Red and City of Oxford; the northern terminus became Banbury in the 1980s - about the same time, Midland Red gave up their interest. It's changed operator at least twice since, and in the last few years it's been renumbered S4, but it still runs once an hour. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:40, 10 February 2013 (UTC) Sorry for supplying false information but it was advice given to me by a friend who regularly travelled by train to visit a pub in Tackley.

It opened in 1869 by the West London Railway and was only served by Metropolitan Railway trains from 1909-1940 so in my opinion the emphasis should be on West London Railway services but the article has has little mention of this.Steamybrian2 (talk) 12:34, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the information and I have amended the station entry accordinglySteamybrian2 (talk) 11:53, 29 March 2016 (UTC) Examined every entryeditAfter several months work I have examined every entry of the Closed Stations as listed in the index. With the information I have available I have examined the information as given although some entries I could not complete such as unable to find some station opening dates. Some items that require further information added are - numbers of platforms on M&GN Joint Rly stations between Yarmouth/Norwich to Peterborough/Bourne. Add companies to categories of the Joint line Bottesford- Market Harborough also Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont Railway. The closure dates shown in categories I was uncertain whether to use passenger or goods closure dates so in most cases I have altered to passenger closure dates but a few I have left as the complete closure date particularly where regular specials used it. If I still come across any further corrections then I will amend them Steamybrian2 (talk) 11:53, 29 March 2016 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for April 5editHi.

SKLReditPlease see Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorizing_pages. In particular note that: "In addition, each categorized page should be placed in all of the most specific categories to which it logically belongs. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C." "Heritage railways in Kent" is a subcategory of "Heritage railways in England", therefore the SKLR should not be placed in the latter category.

Do you think this much delay (and this also affects the Alston line which closed in 1976) means there is a discussion to be had as to whether they still qualify as Beeching closures?

Optimist on the run (talk) 13:03, 19 October 2016 (UTC) The [1] beside the closure date means it is confirmed in "Directory of Railway Stations by R.V.J.Butt" which is stated lower down the page . This date is also agreed in other publications such as "Passengers No More" by G.Daniels and L.Dench. Steamybrian2 (talk) 14:12, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
Please recheck my alterations carefully because I did not alter the year when the station closed in 1967..! Express trains continued to pass through the station until the last express train ran 30 June 1968 when the line through the station was closed which is what I added (ref- Passengers No More by G.Daniels and L.Dench-- second edition page 33).Steamybrian2 (talk) 16:50, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
Hastings LineeditPleast add a ref for your addition. This is a featured article which I put a lot of work into. Mjroots (talk) 18:14, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
You wrote a very good article on the Hastings Line for which I have no comments to make. As previously mentioned above you actually stated in the paragraph "Electric Era" in the last line that the tunnel was slab tracked in 1985. You have not stated yourself where this information came from. As a final correction I was also on the last train between Tunbridge Wells West- Grove Junction on 6th July 1985 which terminated at Tunbridge Wells Central (not Tonbridge) and there was another later train between Eridge and TWW only. I was working for BR (Southern Region) at the time.Steamybrian2 (talk) 08:50, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Closure dates of stationseditIt is discussion point on whether a station closure date is the day when the last train ran or the first date when services ceased to operate. The dates I normally quote are the first date when services were withdrawn and are taken from books such as Passengers No More by G.Daniels and L.Dench, Chronology of London Railways by H.V.Borley and the various books on Disused Stations by J.E.Connor and B.Halford. In the past I have referred to the book with the name of (or similar) Register of Closed Stations by M.E.Quick which in the past I borrowed for reference however I do not have the excellent book by R.V.Butt. Some examples of dates I have used are the Crystal Palace High Level branch on which the last timetabled service ran on Sat. 18th September 1954, an enthusiasts special ran on Sunday 19th September and the BR official date of closure was Monday 20th September 1954. On the Woodside- Selsdon line the last train ran on Friday 13th May 1983 ( I was on it!) as there were no trains on Saturdays or Sundays so the effective closure issued on BR notices and official documents was Monday 16th May 1983. Accordingly I have tried to be consistent with the official date on when no trains ran which so far you have accepted. It appears that the policy has been changed by the books issued by Rose. Please discuss/clarify.Steamybrian2 (talk) 09:16, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

References Hi there, I am somewhat irked by the title of this article. For 105 years the station was know as Alton and for the last 11 years only as Alton Towers. Personally I've always thought of it as simply Alton. Do you know if there is a set rule on Wikipedia as to what stations with several names have to be called? Many thanks Cls14 (talk) 21:47, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
I agree with Redrose64 (and the policy I use) that the stations are referred to by the name at the time of closure. Another example is Folkestone Junction which held that name for over 100 years to be renamed Folkestone East 4 years before closure in 1965.Steamybrian2 (talk) 08:21, 23 May 2018 (UTC) Marland Works railway station (aka Peters Marland)editI have found reference to this station (for staff only) only when it was the terminus of the 3 feet narrow gauge railway.

I have received little or no thanks for over a decade of work with over 16,000 edits. Of those a very small number have proved to be incorrect. My sources of information have been from a variety of sources from British Railway records to my own personal diaries, photographs, tickets and records dating back to 1966. Some of this information is issued in web sites such as Nick Catford's "Disused Stations" and Gary Thornton's "Six Bells Junction" web sites for which the authors are very grateful. It is easy in such work that errors creep in and both web sites as well as published books contain some errors or misprints. It is therefore unwise to merely cite a book and its page and copy such information into Wikipedia without first cross checking. Occasionally I have deleted these "cites" as incorrect particularly when it contradicts information issued elsewhere. In one instance I travelled on the last train over the line and recorded it in my diary, got issued with a correctly dated ticket took photographs but subsequently found that the closure date was wrongly shown in Wikipedia because the date had been misprinted in a magazine. I subsequently altered it but such edit was refused as it cited the magazine article..! Another example recently was closure date of Framlingham to goods. The date given was 1963 as quoted from a CAMRA Good Beer Guide. I cross checked three sources of information as being 1965 including British Railways records but as per previous instructions I did not delete 1963 but left it as quoted by the Good Beer Guide( maybe this is more reliable information than BR Records...). The moral of the story is "cite your source" but first check that the source is correct.Steamybrian2 (talk) 20:05, 1 August 2019 (UTC) ArbCom 2019 election voter messageedit

You're doing it again. While you're correct that general day-to-day steam services ended on 11 August 1968, special trains ran much later - for example, Folkestone Harbour railway station's last service in the 21st century was steam operated. The Amberley Publishing source given states "On 14 May of that year, 'Schools' class-4-4-0 No. 30929 Malvern hauled the last scheduled steam boat train", and 30929 is a steam locomotive.
