Talk:Carlisle railway station, Perth

Notable landmarks

Any notable sight seeing landmarks? --Masssiveego 08:56, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Nope. I used to go through it all the time, and about the only reason you'd get off there is to walk up Mint Street to the shopping precinct, or to change to the bus for Kewdale/Forrestfield. It's not close enough to be prominent - most would go there by bus. Orderinchaos78 08:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Very few issues, all of them manageable typo fixes. Ping me when done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:07, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

• @Sammi Brie: That should be all done, thanks. Steelkamp (talk) 05:08, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Copy changes

• as a elevated station "an elevated"
  • Done.
• The station is between Rutland Avenue to the east and Bank Street to the west, and is south of the Mint Street/Archer Street level crossing. Remove comma (CinS)
  • Done.
• low density hyphenate
  • Seems like either spelling can be used. Non-hyphenated spelling is used in these examples: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
  • To me, it's a compound adjective, but I'll take it as an ENGVAR issue. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:50, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
• According to a local resident, construction started on a station platform at Mint Street in September 1911, but stopped a few weeks thereafter. Remove second comma (CinS)
  • Done.
• At first, the station was named Mint Street, but was renamed Victoria Park East in October 1912. add "it" after "but" to resolve CinS issue
  • Done.
• The upgrade cost $1.2 million, and included a resurfaced platform, new shelter, better lighting, and better security. Remove first comma (CinS)
  • Done.
• The Armadale line goes between Perth station and Armadale station along the South Western Railway. The Thornlie line goes between Perth station and Thornlie station, branching off at Kenwick. No citation for these two sentences.
  • Added citations.

Spot checks

• 8: The Carlisle Hotel and Harold Hawthorne Community Centre are situated in close proximity to the Carlisle Train Station. Y
• 17: Information on the 1919 town renaming. Like the reasoning that it was a "border" town! :P Y
• 31: 2020 West Australian article. Bad paywall: It would see the elevation of the rail lines at Carlisle Station, creating new community open space at ground level, Ms Saffioti said.
• 35: PerthNow story on the planned 18-month shutdown. Y
• 44: 167,460 boardings for Carlisle, which does appear to be lower than the average given the other stations' data.
