Farringdon

Sorry to revert your edit, but through FCC trains will still call at Farringdon after the Thameslink Programme, they just won't go to Barbican and Moorgate anymore as this part of the line will be cut off by the extended platforms. There will probably be disruption there during the building works, and most cross-London FCC trains at weekends and evenings aren't running in 2009 (probably more details on their website), but during the day they'll be stopping there as usual 81.144.251.46 (talk) 14:02, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Thameslink

Reverted your comment about an electrical substation due to no reference being provided. Also, is this kind of highly detailed information really what we want in this article?? Are we going to have a list of the signals too? Bhtpbank (talk) 14:30, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Well I apologise for not including a reference. But in answer to your second question, I would not normally include a substation but this one is enormous - both in capacity and in the size it is taken up. It occupies virtually the entire site west of the railway between the two stations involved. I really do believe it is worth a mention. Go to Blackfriars and see it for yourself.--Pedantic of Purley (talk) 17:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Crossrail

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Crossrail. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crossrail (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Cars and carriages

I suggest you visit your local railway station. If you do not intend to travel then please purchase a platform ticket. Now go to the end of the platform in the direction that trains travel. If you look closely you will notice a small sign (about 4 inches square) attached to a pole (or to a lamppost). The sign will ususally have a blue background with white text. it will say something along the lines of "4 Car stop". This is called a train stop marker. It tells the driver of a train where to stop the train based on the length of the train. It does not say "4 carriages" or "4 coaches" is says "4 CAR". This is the standard term, and anything else is non-standard. Capisce!

You have been requested to address the UK Railways Project and explain your "standardisation" of terms. Please follow this link [1] and justify your edit. Bhtpbank (talk) 06:53, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
