[edit] Decluterring
I support these things in principal but when they are cluttured full of details of branches and every other thing is in bold or italics they detract from the articles they are put in. Mrsteviec 14:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for sorting it out, sorry, I just copied and edited the ECML template, they mentioned branches etc., am I right in thinking >=stops on a branch?, thanks again DannyM 17:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yes thats right. Its a nice simple notation I think. Mrsteviec 18:01, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I concur with you DannyM 18:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Desc for 24 April 2006 1858
On second look, I haven't really described how ive changed the template very well, Ive changed it to read :
Lockerbie Motherwell Glasgow Central >Haymarket >Edinburgh Waverley
This is because strictly speaking as GLA and MOT are in the West, they are the main line, whereas HAY and EDI are to the East and thus are a branch. Just to clarify DannyM 18:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Carstairs/Carstairs Junction
The template needs to show Carstairs Junction, because this is where the line splits (and the Caledonian Sleeper stops here, according to talk:Carstairs Junction). Carstairs railway station is a minor station that is unambiguously on the Glasgow leg. This is why I reverted the change. --Concrete Cowboy 17:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Re-reading the Carstairs RS article, I realise that I'm guessing from memory. Someone from Scotland needs to edit factually. --Concrete Cowboy 17:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

- Mainline trains still stop there nonetheless so i think it should be mentioned under HST. Simply south 00:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

- I've pulled some more detail, leaving the template as just a mainline guide. We may want to construct a detailed template separately for just the WCML (as this current template is shown on every station page as well).Pickle 10:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for decluttering it - I was not convinced about the addition of various junctions - even though I had done it myself. Virgin trains and Caledonian Sleeper stop at Carstairs so it should be included. As only one connecting line had been added to Carlisle, I have added two other, but have realised that I have omited the S&C - probably the most significant. --Stewart 13:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

- If i understand the area correctly no main line (ie Virgin West Coast, VXC, Sleepers, etc) use any of the branches at Carlisle. Thus IMHO we should pull all the detail around Carlisle. As for junction names, that too could clutter up the template too much. Pickle 15:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fairly fundamentally, Carstairs railway station is north of the junction (on the Glasgow branch), not south of it as was originally shown. --Concrete Cowboy 13:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
