[edit] Some questions
Dunc_Harris|☺ 17:23, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- When was it transferred to the Eastern Region?
[edit] Split
As we did recently with Thameslink, I think that this article should be split into an article about the LTS line and one about the LTS railway. Thryduulf 22:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
- There is already an article about c2c. That is plenty. Mrsteviec 07:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- c2c is only the current post-privatisation TOC, which is different to the railway company that constructed the line, which is different to the line that has been operated by the LTSR, the LMS, British Rail and c2c. Again comparing Thameslink, we have an article about the line, the company the constructed and ran the line, the first post-privatisation TOC and the most recent TOC -
| LTS | Thameslink | |
|---|---|---|
| Line | London, Tilbury and Southend Line | Thameslink |
| Constructor | London, Tilbury and Southend Railway | British Rail |
| Pre-nationalisation operators | London, Tilbury and Southend Railway | N/A |
| Midland Railway | ||
| London, Midland and Scottish Railway | ||
| Post nationalisation operators | c2c | Thameslink (train operating company) |
| First Capital Connect |

- Thats all well and good but how many articles do we really need about this short line? The third article would be redundant. There just isn't that much new information to put in it. Much better to have 2 strong articles than 3 diluted or repeated ones. Don't split articles for the sake of it. Mrsteviec 07:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

- It is good to that this article shows the history of the line and its prsent. Why does it need to be split? (rhetorical) Simply south 16:44, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Branches
Would Barking to Grays and Upminster to Pitsea via Grays count as seperate lines? Simply south 15:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- IMHO normally yes, but LTS is a relatively contained system so no need to become over complex. Pickle 15:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
