Talk:2016–2019 United Kingdom railway strikes

Formal end?

I think the heading "Formal end" is premature but I have not changed it. Roberttherambler (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Agreed, Think it might be a bit premature, but I wasn't sure how to make the title sound "neutral" (not violating NPOV), so that's the best I thought of. Is "An end in sight?" a more appropriate title? Class455 (talk|stand clear of the doors!) 11:37, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps we should leave it for a few weeks and see what happens. Roberttherambler (talk) 11:41, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Wait and see how many ASLEF members join RMT... Incidentally, 'Aftermath' is probably a better section header than 'End.'O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 11:45, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

What was the outcome of these strikes? Unsuccessful, presumably? The page title suggests they're still ongoing as of 2019, but the last update in the article is from 2018... Robofish (talk) 22:24, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

2016–2019 United Kingdom rail strikes → 2016-2018 United Kingdom rail strikes – No strikes on article appear to be from 2019 - all appear to be from 2018 or before. Nightfury 13:11, 14 September 2020 (UTC) May I also add isn't it worth closing this as a current event, with the date being the end of the last strike? Nightfury 13:11, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose the proposed new title, this article documents a series of related strikes, and patently the article is WP:NOTFINISHED. Its lede starts "Major industrial action in the form of periodic strikes and protests have been ongoing" (my emphasis) and see e.g. see BBC News here about South Western Railway strikes in December 2019 (which were scheduled to finish at 23:59 on 1 January 2020) and South Western Railway planned strikes called off in March 2020 (BBC News of 3 March). So if anything we should make it 2020 or Rail Strikes in the UK since 2016 or something.... Oddly, South Western is not mentioned in the body text of the article. It makes sense to change the title, but not to that proposed. 94.21.78.115 (talk) 07:45, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Tut, tut. Industrial action has been ongoing. I'll change that. 94.21.78.115 (talk) 07:46, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Proposal To Fix Mismatch of Dates: To set end date as the final strike day/month

I would propose that an actual final strike date/month is used as the end. Daesin (talk) 12:48, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
