There is now a problem with the new image as it is incorrectly titled, and it has overwritten the old - historical - logo of the 1996 incarnation of the company. --Stewart ^{(talk | edits)} 21:51, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

RDTs

I have been moving templates like these over a long period of time with little controversy and these moves are not just related to railway templates. They are RDTs and i am just doing this to distinguish between templates. Simply south (talk) 19:07, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Bathgate

It was confusing, the places seem to suggest that Bathgate Upper was the E&BR whilst other areas say no. Simply south (talk) 19:55, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Could you also fix the links to the Bathgate redirect and when that's done perform the move? Simply south (talk) 21:07, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Highland Main Line

We seem to have three people pulling in different ways - you, me and Euan7777 (talk · contribs). Fact of the matter is, the stations between Perth and Inverness are all served by EC trains, one per day, 7 days a week: but none of them call at all stations. See National Rail Table 229, specifically, 18:00 ex-Perth M-S (p. 12), 18:29 ex-Perth Su (p. 15), 07:55 ex-Inverness M-F (p. 26) and 09:40 ex-Inverness Su (p. 32). From these four services we see that Perth, Pitlochry, Kingussie, Aviemore and Inverness have a bidirectional service 7 days a week; but Dalwhinnie only has a Sunday service, northbound only; and Carrbridge, Newtonmore, Blair Atholl and Dunkeld & Birnam also only have a Sunday service, but it's southbound.

Do we go for (a) show all of them including non-existent service between Dalwhinnie and the two stations either side (Blair Atholl, Newtonmore), which was the situation prior to today; (b) show only the Monday-Saturday service (as favoured by Euan7777); or (c) show which are served on which days and in which directions (ie what I was doing)? --Redrose64 (talk) 15:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

this in particular was a bad revert: why is [[Carrbridge railway station|Inverness]] preferable to what had gone before? --Redrose64 (talk) 15:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Three things:

Firstly - (para 3) sorry for the inaccurate edit re Carrbridge/Inverness, was not paying proper attention to detail.

Secondly - (para 1) I have seen many being pulled up in the past over timetable info - WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NOTTRAVEL being the appropriate sections of WP:NOT. This is the basis for the reverts. A particular extreme example out of Euston to Glasgow is the next station being four or five stations on WCML.

Finally - (para 2) I do not think these next/previous template are particularly good at handling irregular stopping patterns, especially when the stopping patterns vary depending on the day of the week. My feeling is that we identify which stations are served by a particular TOC, and leave it to reference to the timetable (which will change in a few weeks time) for the exact details.

--Stewart ^{(talk | edits)} 21:06, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

OK, so do we go for showing the service as calling at all ten stations (and hang the Dalwhinnie problem), or just at the five stations which enjoy a daily service?

BTW no need to copy the whole thread to my talk page, see upper box in User talk:Redrose64/Editnotice. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:35, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
