Talk:Surrey Canal railway station

Crap map...

That map is crap. What's the point in showing something specific as one station (average area: 200 sq. yards) in the whole of Greater London (average area: 600+ sq. miles)???

Check out any other open station on the London Overground or London Underground, or any open National Rail station within the Transport for London area. They all have that map, or an equivalent covering a different area (as seen at Amersham station). --Redrose64 (talk) 19:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

...which doesn't really make the map less crap; it just indicates laziness. It's fine as an indication of the general area but something more precise is allowed. See; WP:MORETHANONEF*CKINGMAPISOK

The article has a coordinates link at upper right, through which you can access a variety of online mapping services. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:38, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Look sweetcheeks, I aint debating the matter, I'm telling you how it's gonna be. Capisce? When someone who has only just understood HTML claims to understand the railways...

...it's a state of affairs...

I'm sorry, but what exactly are you implying when you describe me as "someone who has only just understood HTML"? --Redrose64 (talk) 22:55, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

HTML = Heavy Ticket yield (Main Line), of course. Thought we were discussing the railways already? You Can Walk Like A'Gyptian  ;) (talk) 23:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

ROUTE OFGRAND SURREY CANAL INCORRECT

The author has said that the Canal connected Camberwell to Rotherhithe VIA Peckhanm and Deptford. There were two branches from Surrey Docks which branched one went to Camberwell Road and the other to Peckham. There was no section from Deptford. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.233.118 (talk) 12:38, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Plough Way was the boundary between Rotherhithe in Surrey and Depford in Kent, and it is still the boarder between Rotherhithe in Southwark and Depford in Lewisham. So while the canal did not connect Rotherhithe to Camberwell via Peckham the canal went from Rotherhithe via Depford before branching (see the maps in Grand Surrey Canal — although they can be confusing because what is now termed "South Bermondsey" used to be part of Peckham). 92.40.184.78 (talk) 19:31, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Line

The introduction says it will be on the East London line, but the routebox says South London line. Which is correct? --TBM10 (talk) 19:52, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

It's kind-of both. Since the LO trains started running through from Dalston Junction to Clapham Junc, there isn't really a distinction any more. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:20, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

New Bermondsey railway station → Surrey Canal railway station – This is the new official name as of 2022. Crookesmoor (talk) 12:21, 13 April 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:09, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 13:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

• The article says that New Bermondsey is the new name, not the old one. Dr. Vogel (talk) 13:13, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

  It was first proposed as Surrey Canal Road, then New Bermondsey, now it's back to Surrey Canal per TfL. Crookesmoor (talk) 15:56, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Change name. As the station has been given approval with this new name, and construction likely to start it shall be best to rename this article. Grandtubetrains (talk) 23:12, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. Per [1], name might have been changed back to "New Bermondsey". Vpab15 (talk) 16:26, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

• Support Latest station name is definitely Surrey Canal per TfL. It went Surrey Canal Road > New Bermondsey > Surrey Canal. MyLondon is unfortunately in no way a reputable source.   JaJaWa |hello  10:51, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. No case has been made in terms of WP:NC. Premature at best. We need evidence of the proposed new name being adopted in secondary sources, Andrewa (talk) 15:11, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

New Bermondsey railway station → Surrey Canal railway station – The station has clearly been named in Lewisham Council planning documents as being renamed (as a final name) Surrey Canal. The station name has also been confirmed in a London Reconnections article, so it seems silly to leave the title as New Bermondsey. Surely common sense prevails to the extent that the first bold words of the article start with Surrey Canal?? I don't see any evidence of the name continuing to remain as New Berrmondsey, so the content should - as a result - be moved to Surrey Canal (the edit of which was reverted earlier this evening). Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 20:11, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Further - see this as well. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 20:38, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Is this an actual station or just a planned one? Could the name change before it is built? Fredlesaltique (talk) 13:23, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

TfL have submitted the planning documents to Lewisham Council, so currently in the planning stage at the moment. However, I find it difficult to see any reason (or evidence) to why it should remain New Bermondsey, as Surrey Canal is the name they have submitted, and I don't think it will change. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 13:28, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

• Support for reasons given--Iztwoz (talk) 17:00, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
• Support per case made above. Pichpich (talk) 19:08, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
• Support. I opposed the previous request because an article from April this year mentioned the name was changed to "New Bermondsey" ([2]). However, no other site has mentioned that supposed name change, so it is a bit suspicious. Most other sources refer to Surrey Canal station, which makes it the WP:COMMONNAME.
