Thanks, Rich257 (talk) 07:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC) Geo coordinates for railway stationsYou might be interested in work going on in this area, discussed here. In short, we understand that you're adding links to railway station articles pointing them at npemaps. We're using those pointers to generate {{coord}} entries for each article. There's probably scope for some efficiencies if we work together. Sadly I'm at work right now, but I'll come back to you in six or eight hours to discuss some more. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 12:21, 20 November 2008 (UTC) I've responded here, FYI. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:15, 20 November 2008 (UTC) Shepherdswell (EKLR) stationThe station is not closed, it is open as part of the East Kent Railway.

Thanks for all your efforts! Kind regards, The Anome (talk) 11:58, 17 January 2009 (UTC) KESR diagramIn BR days, the junction was on the Tonbridge side of the station. Just checked my copy of Pre-Grouping Railway Junction Diagrams 1914 and I see that the original junction was 4 chains on the Ashford side of the station. Mjroots (talk) 19:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Template:Closed stations BuckinghamshireWell done for creating this template. Funnily enough, I'd been thinking of making one, but you've done all the work instead! Thanks. Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 19:46, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Hi, am I right in thinking that this file has a white border? If so, would it be possible to remove it as it's creating a display issue. I'm working on a list of windmills in Suffolk in my sandbox if you want to take a look.

Articles for deletion nomination of Lowestoft Corporation TramwaysI have nominated Lowestoft Corporation Tramways, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lowestoft Corporation Tramways. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. RadioFan (talk) 02:02, 12 June 2009 (UTC) Fordham railway stationI don't know if you are aware but there is a planning application to demolish Fordham railway station. The article seems to have gone from the Ely Standard's website, but exists in Google's cache. I thought you might be interested as I notice you have been to Lord's Bridge. Rich257 (talk) 20:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC) Murrow stationsHi, Re: Murrow North station. As far as I'm aware this should be Murrow East, and that's the name shown in the list of closed stations and Clinker's Register. I have copied the (re-titled) article across to a new Murrow East article. Perhaps the listing in the closed stations of Cambridgahire box needs altering too and the original article needs deleting / re-directing? The same applies to Murrow South which should be Murrow West. Incidentally, I'm almost certain there was a very late chord connecting these two stations after the line to Peterborough (?) closed. I need to find out about that... Eramaps —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eramaps (talk • contribs) 18:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC) Hi again, Thanks for the Move Page tip. You'll gather I'm just learning wiki! I'm doing some research which will take through just about every station name eventually so it is bound to come in handy... Eramaps (talk) 19:55, 3 July 2009 (UTC) Thornhill railway stationApologies. My bad. --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:39, 14 September 2009 (UTC) NowCommons: File:Lowestoft tram shed 2009.jpgFile:Lowestoft tram shed 2009.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Lowestoft tram shed 2009.jpg.

If so, a redirect needs to be created and the link removed from the template. I've removed Rye Harbour from the template as the line was in Sussex. Mjroots (talk) 16:52, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Subbrit linksHi, I see you are doing a lot of subbrit links. There is a shorthand template that might make it easier:
Scillystuff (talk) 23:42, 21 March 2010 (UTC) CortonThis is a long shot, but I've seen that you've uploaded images from Corton. If you happen to live in the area and have the time at some point (not urgent) to get a pic of the old station before it disappears, that would be much appreciated as it seems to be the last station standing on the Yarmouth/Lowestoft line.

The orange "Enhanced Zoom" button allows you to get extremely close in, and you'll see that there are both "Station" and "Station (Southwold Raily)". --Redrose64 (talk) 23:27, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
"Halesworth was not a junction of East Suffolk Line & Southwold Railway; it operated as a cross platform interchange." That means there's only one station there, doesn't it? Britmax (talk) 22:28, 11 April 2011 (UTC) The above post was me with a rant on one of my pet hates, the showing of two stations at junctions where there is ony one. It happens at Stourbridge Branch Line as well. One of the problems I have with it is that is hard to distinguish places where there really were separate stations, Liskeard or Audley End for example. However I apologise for ranting at you, I should probably aim it at one of the projects or the RDT talk page, and will if I still think it matters enough later today.

Lowestoft postcardThis old postcard from c1912 seems to be of a scene outside Lowestoft station. It looks a little too rural to me to be Lowestoft Central; would you have any ideas? Possible clue - those look like tram pylons in the background. Lamberhurst (talk) 22:22, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Disambiguation link notification for August 22Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Whitmore railway station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Whitmore. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
