Talk:Liverpool Overhead Railway Southern Extension Tunnel

Abandoned cars

Shouldn't there be mention of the abandoned cars in the tunnel? There's (amongst others) an AMC Pacer and a Lotus Elite in there. The AMC is doubly weird, I don't think AMC ever sold here. Its also weird how they got in there in the first place. 82.42.205.93 (talk) 14:52, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Merge page with 'Dingle railway station'?

Would it be worth merging this article with the article about the Dingle station of the Liverpool Overhead Railway?CWM 93 (talk) 15:33, 31 August 2015 (UTC)CWM 93

No. Stations are not tunnels. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:30, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

@Redrose64: While I agree, I can see the argument for doing so; I haven't found much of any source coverage of the tunnel outside of discussing either the railway as a whole or Dingle station. Sam Walton (talk) 18:49, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

@Redrose64: I've also been trying to find more information on the tunnel, but it's all in the context of the station. Would it be OK to add the station article to the tunnels category? It's a bit of a bodge, but if it's redirected, should keep the categories in order. CWM 93 (talk) 15:33, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

You can put the cats that are specific to the tunnel onto the redirect, see for example Farnworth Tunnel --Redrose64 (talk) 18:29, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect. We have almost no other content on it. It would be worth mentioning that the tunnel mouth was above ground level though and was straight onto a truss bridge. It's also not a "hill" as such, it's the edge of the red sandstone scarp that defines pretty much all of Liverpool. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:58, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

@Andy Dingley: That seems the best option - there's a small amount of sourced material on the construction of the bridge in the main Liverpool Overhead Railway article, so that can be included pretty easily. Cheers. CWM 93 (talk) 20:47 01 Sept 2015 (UTC)

• At a very quick glance i'd tend not to do it as different entity types; but given the current sourcing as suggested above it may pragmatically useful to do so it the redirect is tagged with appropriate categories and is mark "r printworthy" and maybe "r with possibilities" (that latter may not be sustainable though).

While there isa merge discussion on the other article it s quite possilbe the tunnel is the more notable.Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:01, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
