Merger Discussion
editRequest received to merge articles: Croy Line into Edinburgh to Dunblane Line; dated: December/2015. Proposer's Rationale: The article Croy Line does not have any sources for either the name Croy Line or any definition of the line. There is no reference to the phrase "Croy Line" that I can find anywhere outside Wikipedia or wiki mirror sites.
The Dunblane and Alloa services from Edinburgh and Glasgow are run by Scotrail as an integrated operation and have no separate identity, stock, timetabling etc. All the evidence is that we should treat them as a single entity.
I propose that Croy Line be merged into this article and then this article be renamed to reflect that change.
Two name options are Central Scotland Line to match the reliable sources of Scotrail timetables and documents.[1]
or Stirling, Alloa, Dunblane Line to match the reliable source of Transport Scotland [2]
I think the latter may be slightly better as it gives more geographic description in the title. Discuss here. Andrewdpcotton (talk) 10:09, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose on the grounds that there are sources that don't seem to be wiki mirrors that argue that this is the correct name,[3] including official govenment maps.[4] Also the "Central Scotland" timetable describes a region rather than a line. Klbrain (talk) 21:47, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
