1910 timetable and commentary edit

This section appears to contain primary information and is not wikipedia-ish. I think it should be removed to a more appropriate place, maybe Wikisource. Nankai (talk) 00:09, 9 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • I've got to agree, this information is definitely not something that's on any other station pages.. while interesting, a little irrelevant..Sgreen93 (talk) 22:24, 9 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • I also agree that it is excessive and unbalances the article. I have therefore just removed the table with this edit. The content is still available in the Wikipiedia history logs if anyone wishes to recover it for use elsewhere. PeterEastern (talk) 05:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Article needs to be checked and to have more citations edit

The first services to the station apparently started in 1849, however the info-box says the station opened in 1850 and the article is currently inconsistent. Could someone with more knowledge check the history section and sort it out?

Also... I have reworked the text of the history section to a considerable extent and have tried not to change the factual content, but I am not knowledgeable on railway history and it would be good for someone to check it. The section also needs many more references. PeterEastern (talk) 06:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Seems that originally the GNR used the ECR station in Peterborough, and the GNR Board only decided to have their own station in December 1849, so unless a Workington North was done, the station can't have opened any earlier than 1850 - and Butt says 7 August 1850. I've had a go at the relevant section. Still needs more refs; there will be plenty to pull from Waszak, but I have other things on my mind. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:20, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Dubious neutrality edit

The Services section reads like an advert for Peterborough. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 02:02, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Mobile layout issue edit

Hello, I’ve been browsing the page today on my phone, and it has produced a very odd result, where the text for opening different categories is smooshed up to the left of the screen much higher than it should be, and pressing the options does nothing. I’ve looked at other station articles like the one for Cambridge, and this issue could not be replicated there.

Is there a particular issue with Peterborough’s article that causes this? Just thought I’d let people know, since I have no idea what’s causing it, but it is a bit of an impediment to usage on mobile Class444SWRail (talk) 07:09, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is definitely something odd, I get the text for the section headings vertically down the side of the track diagram (iPhone SE2) Can't select anything to actually read the different sections. I've looked at the text and can't see anything unusual, I suspect it is an obscure typo somewhere that is upsetting the rendering of the page. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 07:40, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
