Talk:Heysham Port railway station

message: How did Heysham Port have EMU service without electricity?  —Sladen (talk) 22:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The OHLE masts & catenary were removed (presumably for scrap) after withdrawal of the local passenger service in January 1966 (although diesel-worked boat trains continued for some years after that). The Midland Railway branch from Lancaster Castle to Morecambe (via Lancaster Green Ayre) was also electrified (at 6.6Kv AC OHLE, as noted in the Morecambe Branch Line and Lancaster railway station articles) in addition to the Heysham branch - it was one of the first such installations in the UK when commissioned in 1908.  Few traces of the equipment now remain, although there are one or two rusty pieces of supporting ironwork adorning certain over-bridges above the cycleway that now occupies most of the old railway trackbed between Green Ayre & Morecambe (which closed to passengers in January 1966 and completely the following June apart from a short section retained as a siding until 1970). There are numerous photographs of the line when open (and the unusual EMUs used on the service) available online and in books such as the ones referenced in the Morecambe Branch line article (e.g the Binns & Bairstow ones on the 'Little' North Western Railway).

Talk:Bolton Interchange

message: As noted, much of this section reads like it was lifted directly from a TfGM press release, with arguably peacock terms and buzzwords used rather than a more factual explanation. There are also issues with the tenses, as some of the content implies it has not yet happened. I would question whether referring to the initial rebuild of the railway station (prior to the bus station moving) really qualifies it as an "interchange" and would suggest the references to "Bolton Interchange" before that are switched to become "Bolton railway station", but am willing to be convinced otherwise. Thoughts?--Peeky44 What's on your mind? 08:34, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember the 1980s rebuild, it was planned as an interchange. First they demolished a row of shops on the eastern side of Newport Street, between the railway and Trinity Street. On this site they built the new bus station and taxi rank, when it was opened it became the town centre terminus for the routes running to the north of the town that had previously terminated along Newport Street itself - those running along Chorley New Road, Chorley Old Road, and Halliwell Road; also some of those along Blackburn Road and Folds Road. Right from the start this new facility was named "Bolton Interchange". The new railway station building was adjacent to this, perched on a steel girder structure which formed one of the piers for the new footbridge, and when it opened soon after the bus station, they were also shown at street level as "Bolton Interchange", but the platform-level signs remained simply "Bolton". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Alico Arena

message: There has been some back and forth regarding what the capacity of Alico Arena really is, so I thought a topic should be started. One side of the discussion has Alico at 4,500 because that's what the builders website says it has for seating. The other side of the discussion is including standing room in the capacity number.
To me, "capacity" should include standing room because there have been many games that have exceeded just the seats. But in comparison, a high major program such as KU has their arena listed at 16.3k which is sourced as "seating capacity".
Thoughts? BahamaLlama8 (talk) 00:54, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: FGCU's official athletics page has the "capacity" of Alico Arena listed as 4,633 and does also state 4,500 as seating capacity.http://www.fgcuathletics.com/facilities/alicoarena/ BahamaLlama8 (talk) 00:59, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

text: *Now the page says 4,633 capacity and 4,333 fixed seats. Why are we talking about standing room? Isn't seats the most common measure? The articles on Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, ETSU/Mountain States Health Alliance Athletic Center or Allen Arena, all A-Sun basketball facilities, list their seats. I've removed the record attendance addition to the info box. That's not really a needed modification. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:22, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Crewe–Manchester line

message: At present the article reads The line was recently upgraded as part of the West Coast Main Line upgrade.
Leaving aside the upgrade as part of an upgrade, the "recently" was written in 2007 or earlier, nine years ago. It is important not to write material like this, or to use the present tense to say what is done "now" without dating it. Afterbrunel (talk) 11:13, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Whilst there are 4 tracks side-by-side from Sandbach to just outside Crewe, 2 of these are the Manchester Independent Goods lines, which avoid Crewe station. 81.133.157.60 (talk) 12:17, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Euxton Balshaw Lane railway station

message: The article states that "...Royal Ordnance Factory site, ROF Chorley, on the Preston to Manchester line, which closed shortly after World War II."
The ROF Chorley page has different information, implying that the site (as a factory) closed after WWIi and the Preston to Manchester rail line is very much open (apart from at the moment when there are some rail engineering works going on!).
Sugest this needs clarifying by someone more familar with the situation.
Ian--Ormers (talk) 06:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It refers to the station, not the line.  I have added "the station" to clarify as it was ambiguous, changed the date to match the ROF Chorley article and replaced  with ; a source is still needed. --Snigbrook (talk) 19:13, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think that makes it inherently notable, I think significant coverage in secondary sources does. It does seem that this arena is notable, however the sources aren't properly cited in the article so it's hard to tell. There is one bad link (the NCAA history) which would be great to have to establish notability. The other source is a primary source because it comes from the Flyers themselves. I have noted this in the article so we can try to find acceptable secondary sources. I don't see in the Dayton source where it says that coaches have hailed it as "one of the greatest venues in college basketball". It's simply not in the source anywhere. I think that source can be used for some basic info like construction dates and whatnot, but controversial info (like that quote) need a source that actually says it. —Noetic Sage 04:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Their meets will take place in the new Tiger Arena, and the converted area in the Towson Center is a practice facility.
