Rainham railway station (London)Rainham (Essex) railway station – This station is referred to as Rainham (Essex) by Network Rail, the service operator and ATOC. It also ensures consistency with Rainham (Kent):

This is a more WP:COMMONNAME for the station than the wiki-creation of "Rainham railway station (London)". Lamberhurst (talk) 07:39, 23 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose The station is called "Rainham" - see the platform sign. "(London)" is just a disambiguation tag at the end to identify the location. "(Essex)" is inaccurate even if Network Rail haven't looked at a map in fifty years. Timrollpickering (talk) 08:51, 23 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
I don't like it because I know better is not a valid argument. Verifiability is what counts, regardless of personal opinion. Lamberhurst (talk) 17:32, 23 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
