It is a nice picture, but the train obscures the railway station. Snowman 12:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have replaced it with a picture of most of the station from the new road bridge. Snowman 09:53, 19 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Early names

edit

The dates and names given prior to this edit were consistent with those given in Butt (1995), pp. 15, 230 - that is: 9 April 1838 opened as Allesley Gate; 1 September 1863 renamed Allesley Lane; 1 April 1864 renamed Tile Hill.

The edit mentioned above was presumably sourced to this page which is self-contradictory regarding the pre-1864 names. The first paragraph has "Initially it was named Allesley Lane station and then in 1857 renamed as Allesley Gate" in the second sentence, but later reverses this to "Allesley Gate station renamed Allesley Lane". --Redrose64 (talk) 08:34, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I was just going with what the source said. They can't both be right surely?! Are there any more sources? G-13114 (talk) 23:35, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
The problem is that your source is self-contradictory. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:54, 17 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
