[edit] Franchise
Is it really attached to the CrossCountry franchise? I didn't think any stations were. --RFBailey 17:30, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- The national rail site unhelpfully just says "Virgin Trains", but I too was under the impression that the XC franchise was the only one that didn't come with any stations. I'll add a {{fact}} tag to it. Thryduulf 23:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

- Now that I come to think of it, in the days when it was possible to tell the difference between Cross Country and West Coast operations (e.g. about ten years ago) it was definitely attached to the West Coast franchise. --RFBailey 23:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

- In the edit with regards to station ownership, the assumption by myself is made that Cross Country operate up to 5 times as many trains per hour, possibly more, than West Coast into Wolverhampton station. As you say, it isn't helped that National Rail list both Cross Country and West Coast as operators of the station. The situation may become more clear when the bidding criterion for the West Mids Integrated, East Mids Integrated and Cross Country franchises are released. Until then I would suggest leaving it as is with the {{fact}} tag on it, and if anyone manages to find differently, then it can easily be changed :) . Glad to see my few edits are at least drawing some attention ;) Alspittle 14:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

- [1] states that Cross Country Trains operates zero stations - must be West Coast, then? -- Al 12:27, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Im pretty sure that its attached to West Coast, it seems to be that it always says west coast in the station, like at the fast ticket machines and on information.
"Worst Station"
Any objections to deleting this sentence given the complete lack of source provided?
[edit] Future development
"This is to form the first part of a proposed, more comprehensive rebuilding project, but this is still on the drawing-board (This project has been announced - see below for details)." - History, paragraph 4
Would it not be wise to remove this, and expand the comment further down the article about details of the redevelopment?
Maybe even put it in it's own class of "Future plans" or somesuch?
