Only a few copy tweaks holding this article back from a pass right now. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:41, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

• That's the quickest I've ever received a review after nominating! I've replied to two of your comments. The rest of your proposed changes have been done. Steelkamp (talk) 05:15, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Copy changes

• The station is in the Perth suburbs of Lathlain and Victoria Park, and is typically served by Thornlie line services Remove comma (User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences)
• Lathlain station closed in 2003 and a nearby level crossing was removed and replaced with a bridge. Add comma after "crossing" (CinS)
  • Are you sure?
    • Whoops, I meant to write after "2003". Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:02, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
• The new Victoria Park station opened on 2 August 2008 and the old one was demolished soon afterwards. Comma after 2008 (CinS)
• The relocation of Victoria Park station had several advantages: it would put the station closer to the Victoria Park retail area along Albany Highway, fill the gap left by the closure of Lathlain station, make the station distribution along the Armadale line more even, allow for a straight platform with a smaller platform gap than the old station, which was on a curve, and allow for minimal disruption to the old station while the new station was being constructed. One of these list entries has a comma, so the list entries should be divided by semicolons.

• Don't hyphenate "late-2004"
• Hyphenate "four-car" in "four car trains" and "six-car" in "six car trains"
• Victoria Park station is predominantly served by Thornlie line services, but also Armadale line services at night and on Sundays Remove comma (CinS)
• Armadale line services typically skip Victoria Park station, but stop at the station late at night and on Sundays every half an hour Remove comma (CinS)
• In the 2013–14 financial year... Is there more recent boarding data?
  • No. There is no routine release of boarding data. (reviewers often ask that)

Spot checks

• 1: PTA milestone listings. 1893: "Perth - Armadale line opened". 1922, Sept. 1: "Victoria Park Station attended". 2008, Aug. 2: "The new Victoria Park Station opened". Y
• 14: 2007 New MetroRail page mentions the Works Infrastructure contract for items including the bridge and track relocation. Y
• 17: 2005 press release from the WA government used for the opening date of the Thornlie line. Y
• 23: PTA map shows the line in green (PTA ownership) and station. Y
• 27: Transperth train timetable shows that not all services stop, but some do, particularly on weekends. Y
