University edit

I hope this isn't wandering in services area. I added university as it is served by a large number of trains on the Cross Country Route. -- Simply south (talk) 17:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

But do the (long distance) Cross Country trains stop at University? I was under the impression only the (Birmingham) Cross-City service (which has its own route map) stopped there, hence the reason why I removed several of the minor stations not used by long distance services. If you so wish, I can dig out the atlas and add all the stations between York and Bristol/Cardiff, but in my opinion that would make the template very large. --Stewart (talk) 17:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oops - found University has now joined the Cross Country route (Nottingham - Cardiff trains) - part of the ex-Central Trains services. --Stewart (talk) 17:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
OK. They do run at University it seems every about 2 hours. I've also readded but as a branch the cross-city line. Btw, when you half undid my edit, it made Redditch appear but as though trains only ran out of and back the station without gong anywhere! -- Simply south (talk) 18:02, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Cadbury Railway and Wharf edit

Should this line be in blue (as in tramway/light railway)? Useddenim (talk) 05:26, 16 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

I honestly don't know. If it should be, it'll need editing at Birmingham to Worcester via Bromsgrove Line too. -mattbuck (Talk) 12:05, 16 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Size edit

This template needs to be cut down significantly. It's supposed to be transcluded to Cross Country Route, but that fails, which means that the template instead shows as a bluelink at the top-left of the lead section; and it also puts the page into Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:46, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I've updated all BSicons (and also textual links), and introduced as many complex icons as possible; and more significantly, replaced all {{BS3||ICON||...}} with {{BS|ICON|...}}. This proved enough for the template to be transcluded properly into the article; however, it still gets some navboxes bluelinked instead of transcluded. YLSS (talk) 20:53, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
It was exceeding the limits again. Having previously removed all of the secondary navigation-boxes, I've resorted to substituting this template in Cross Country Route. So anytime this template is updated (hopefully not too often), it will need to be re-substituted. – Wbm1058 (talk) 20:31, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Moseley edit

Why does the route plan show Moseley between Five Ways and Granville Street? Surely the line never went anywhere near Moseley, which is a couple of miles away from both those stations, on a completely different line.--Shantavira|feed me 11:53, 11 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Possibly left over from when this RDT included the Camp Hill route (some Bristol-Manchester services go that way, in order to avoid reversal at BNS). I removed it --Redrose64 (talk) 14:36, 11 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
