South East Hampshire Bus Rapid Transit → Eclipse Busway – The official name used by the Hampshire County Council to address this route is called the Eclipse Busway and not "South East Hampshire Bus Rapid Transit".

See link from the council here that shows it's real name: https://www.hants.gov.uk/transport/transportschemes/brtphaseII Other sources such as from the CBW magazine, construction site and BBC news show this name clearly.

Only thing I can find which relates to the page name is this website, however it is a transport scheme and not a BRT: https://www.sehrt.org.uk/ - NHPluto (talk) 09:14, 15 March 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.  ASUKITE 17:37, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:OFFICIAL - there might be other good reasons to move the page but the reason given is not sufficient. WaggersTALK 11:38, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose. It has been argued that the proposed name is used in primary sources. But that shows little if anything about the common name. (It's a worry that the article gives ten references and they all seem to be primary sources too.) Andrewa (talk) 16:24, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
