message: a) surly the Gatwick Express is (was) part of services on the Brighton Main Line ?
b) the quarry line is only a bypass line from Redhill to Croydon, avoiding the stopping stations, therefore that section is in effect four track rather than as the article implies, two track. Pickle 13:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's an alternate route, if you intend to get off at Redhill and find yourself on a train routed via the Quarry Line you're never going to see Redhill station let alone get off the train! The line leaves the original main line south of Redhill and doesn't rejoin the original line untill coulsdon. (SouthernElectric 16:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Panic not, thats an old question i asked long ago, which was more to do with how the article looked then and other articles that were causing confusion at the time. Pickle 01:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Hmmm, the route map does not show Coulsdon North, closed 1983, which should, I think, appear on the Quarry Line, just parallel with Coulsdon South. Any objections if I try and fit it in? Ravenseft (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Recent edits by this user on several pages seem to be inaccurate and have had to be reverted. Am I the only one wondering if this users knows enough about the region? Olana North (talk) 11:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: A large chunk of this line now has overground services running along it, yet there is no mention of the east london line at all in this article. Is this because this article distinguishes the doubled track along that route? If so perhaps someone could make a note of that in the article? Or it the article just out of date.- J.Logan`t: 11:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: In terms of infrastructure the Brighton Main Line is largely unaffected by the ELL, so what exactly is it that you want to say? Fu Manchuchu (talk) 10:32, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well the line that the southern extension of the EEL uses runs alongside the Brighton Main Line and indeed southern services still use the same track as as the EEL. So either (depending on what the situation is) it should state that EEL services use the Brighton Main Line or that tracks of the BML were transferred to the EEL and services run along both sets of lines (or whatever the situation is - but right now this article discusses the current services using the line but omits any mention of the EEL. Surely the use of the line by TfL is note worth even aside from the fact the article discusses operators anyway?- J.Logan`t: 16:44, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been no change to the lines (Ref: Network Rail: Sectional Appendix). If you wish to mention that London Overground now operates over the slow lines on the relatively small London portion between New Cross Gate and Norwood Jn then please feel free to add something.

message: The London end shows three stations on the 'top' line of the diagram. Obviously the left one is Victoria and the right one is London Bridge. What is the middle one? -- SGBailey (talk) 16:21, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The central station is London Bridge Low Level, which is a terminus station for Southern trains and a few FCC services. The right hand station is London Bridge High Level which is a through station to Canon Street, Blackfriars (& the route to Bedford), and Charing Cross. Fu Manchuchu (talk) 22:02, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Stations on the map near London Bridge don’t seem right. South Bermondsey is not on the Brighton Main Line, but the map shows it is. Conversely, Spa Park and Southwark Park are on the Line en route to New Cross Gate.
The changeover below South Bermondsey isn’t accurate either. It shows you can get straight to New Cross Gate, but that stretch of track doesn’t exist anymore. 193.63.77.122 (talk) 08:01, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

message: I would like to do some work over the next few weeks to bring this article up to a decent "C" class standard. (I have done this recently for Hampton Court branch line, Shepperton branch line, Tattenham Corner line, Epsom Downs Branch, Ascot–Ash Vale line, Caterham line and North Downs Line.) Principally, I would like to expand history section, tighten up the remainder of the text and improve the referencing. Per WP:CITEVAR, would anyone object if I convert the reference format to use Template:sfn?
Thanks and best wishes, Mertbiol (talk) 20:23, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
