Out of curiosity, why does this article not make any mention of the fact that Silverlink used to run to Birmingham, but for some unknown reason decided to only run to Northampton. This article seems to be rather biased to the London end of things, and has very little about what goes on up north. Does anyone know what will happen to the London - Northampton - Birmingham services when Silverlink and Central Trains are broken up perchance? G-Man * 20:28, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Stopping running between Northampton and Birmingham was a SRA decision. Current plans from the DfT for the later part of this decade call for an hourly Desiro service up the Trent Valley running Euston - Northampton - Crewe (and possibly some to Liverpool). -- Arwel (talk) 00:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Silverlink Metro

I commented out some editorialising about the performance of S Metro. If it is is to go back, it needs to have a reference to an independent source. The Evening Standard would do if there is nothing better. --Concrete Cowboy 23:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Quite right. I would like to vent steam at Sliverlink too but Wikipedia is not the place to do it. What I find interesting (as somebody who has only been using Silverlink for a 3 years) is to read the Barking to Gospel Oak user group's history page in which they describe the current Silverlink service as a significant improvement on the almost even worse service in the later years of BR. That flatly contradicts the claims made in the text you removed. If people want to reference bad things said about the Silverlink services which are actually true then they should check out the GLA report into their services. That didn't pull any punches. --DanielRigal 10:30, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Silverlink (recording artist)

Removed from start of article:

it may not be important to whoever is deleting information of this page, but is is a fact that there is more than one meaning of Silverlink, this page is named silverlink not silverlink trains. please leave this information as the whole point of this site is the spreading of information not deleting it.

Silverlink is a recording artist, remixer and dj. he has recently remixed Lily Allen, he has also remixed Klaxons under the title of Third eye mafia {with Matthew wowow}. Silverlink

Section has been removed as it is (almost) entirely unrelated to this article.

IT IS NOTHING PERSONAL!

If "Silverlink" is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia, then please create an article for him. But please bear in mind that his article will need to be named Silverlink (recording artist), or similar, as this article ("Silverlink", ie about the train company):

(a) was here first (by a long way!)

(b) has hundreds of pages pointing to it (a name change would require a lot of work) and

(c) was where Silverlink (recording artist) got his name, if (ADAADAT) is anything to go by

Also, if Mr Silverlink does qualify for his own page, there will be absolutely no problem about including a 'Disambiguation' link to his article at the top of this one. That's how WP works.

Please do not add this information to this page again, as it will be considered vandalism and removed.

Note for other editors: Googling for 'Silverlink' produced only three hits (in the first 60) related to this remixer: his MySpace page (which I could not accesss), a radio station (that had no information about him), and the above link.
