message: I added this section because clearly it happened in this timeline and has massively affected the railways. GRALISTAIR (talk) 20:31, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Covid 19 effects on Britains Railways 

message: History_of_rail_transport_in_Great_Britain_1995_to_date#Timeline_of_improvements has several missing projects from the MetroWest (Bristol) improvements, notably: Portishead Railway reopening to passengers in 2023;  new stations along the Henbury line such as Filton North; and Charfield station north of Yate in 2024 as well as longer-term aspirations further afield such as Corsham and Stonehouse Bristol Road that are progressing well. Thanks! 82.108.2.131 (talk) 13:39, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree an update is needed but I suggest we wait until after the May elections as in theory we are election purdah at the moment. There are sure to be other announcements. GRALISTAIR (talk) 14:20, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: What does "election purdah" have to do with it? If a project is under way, with funding provided and spades in the ground, and it's all been reported in a WP:RS, we may report it as fact. What we can't do (regardless of whether elections are upcoming or not) is speculate on what might or should happen. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 05:55, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Timeline needs near-future projects added 

message: I feel the list of current rolling stock should be removed from this page, even though clearly a lot of work has gone in to it. First, this page summarises a history of rail transport. A list of current rolling stock is not historical, and as a summary page providing a full list of rolling stock seems inconsistent. Secondly, there are already pages on wikipedia that list current and ex rolling stock, linking to these seems more appropiate and avoids duplication. Foxdown (talk) 14:05, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Great idea. JFDI! Per WP:BRD - be bold, if others revert it then we come back here to discuss further. 10mmsocket (talk) 14:29, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Happy to second its removal. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 15:14, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thirdedof little value here and definitely not enough to offset the maintenance burden. XAM2175 (T) 15:17, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

text: Many thanks for all your helpful and positive responses and changes, and the link to BRD which I had not seen. As this was my first edit on this page, I didn't want to run straight in and remove a large portion of it which had obviously taken time to put together. Foxdown (talk) 14:44, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You have a good instinct for article improvement. Keep on sniffing out the opportunities. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:40, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
