The name of this page is causing confusion. If you check What links here, you will notice that, apart from lots of pages using the British heritage railways template, the majority of the links are expecting to find a page about the historical South Devon Railway Company - the one built by Brunel from Exeter to Plymouth back in the 1840s. The name South Devon Railway only came to be used by the heritage line to Buckfastleigh in 1991.

I propose that:

the existing page is renamed, perhaps something like South Devon Railway (Buckfastleigh) or South Devon Railway (Dart Valley)
a disambiguation page is created using the South Devon Railway name
a new page entitled South Devon Railway Company be created for an article on the Exeter to Plymouth when it is written

Does anyone have any comments, objections, or suggestions? In particular, what would be the best new name for the existing page?

Why not just simply the South Devon Railway Trust? Simply south 19:28, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
