# Talk:Alamein line

Removed "for other uses of Alamein" statement.  going to "Alamein" brings up disambiguation page. Jackk 04:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Does the linebox sit off the side of the screen for anyone else? These little layout glitches are becoming annoying. Hypernovean 05:49, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I'm unsure as to when to say the Outer Circle line became the Alamein line:

Camberwell to Ashburton closed on 1 May 1897 (current date of Outer Circle line closing)
Camberwell to Ashburton reopened on 4 July 1898 (current date of Alamein line opening)
Deepdene to Riversdale reopened on 14 May 1900 (part of Outer Circle line not Alamein)
Camberwell to Ashburton electrified on 30 October 1924 (could this be the start of Alamein?)
East Kew to Deepdene reopened on 11 February 1925 (part of Outer Circle line not Alamein)
East Kew to Riversdale closed on 7 September 1943 (actual end of Outer Circle line)
Ashburton to Alamein reopened on 28 June 1948

This also affects if Hartwell, Willison & Roystead stations were on the Outer Circle line or just on the Alamein line. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 12:11, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
@ThylacineHunter I'd say when Camberwell to Ashburton reopened (on 4 July 1898). Similar to when the Cranbourne line reopened in the 1990s. HoHo3143 (talk) 23:59, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
@HoHo3143 that would make the track diagram look like Alamein 2. The Outer Circle line will now need updating to remove things post 1898 like Roystead station. Alamein history will also need to cover the reopenings north of Riversdale to Deepdene / East Kew .

@ThylacineHunter I think diagram 2 would be best. I may need some guidance with the history section though as this is getting a bit confusing! HoHo3143 (talk)
@HoHo3143 in comparison, Outer Circle 2 will match to this date.

@ThylacineHunter Ok. You chose the one that you think is best. Once you chose and add it in, let me know any important information so I get the history bits correct. HoHo3143 (talk) 02:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
According to Outer Circle Line webpage, the line closed 1 May 1897. Alamein line must now include the line north to East Kew, Deepdene, Roystead & Shenley. This also means Roystead was never on the Outer Circle line. I'll add the correct route diagrams to both pages. I suggest also updating the Outer Circle line after this one. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 03:30, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
I probably won't go ahead and update the OCL page as my main focus is current stations and lines.  HoHo3143 (talk) 04:34, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
