Talk:List of railway stations in Greater Manchester

message: Whilst we have the 2005/06 data in the table, the figures listed on the individual station pages are the older 2004/05 ones. Any particular reason for this, or is it just a case of getting round to updating the individual pages? paypwip (talk) 09:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Just that nobody has bothered to update the station articles yet, bit of a tedious job. ┌Joshii┐└chat┘ 12:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I've started updating them. paypwip (talk) 12:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I've started going through alphabetically, swapping 04/05 figures for 05/06 figures in the infobox, then I've come across a couple of stations that already have the 05/06 figures in addition to the older figures. Before I go any further, can we have a consensus on whether we should have both 04/05 and 05/06 figures, or should we show only the latest figures. My personal view is for the latter. paypwip (talk) 21:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not bothered either way, there is a mix of both options around all stations on Wiki so it doesn't really matter. ┌Joshii┐└chat┘ 21:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I just noticed the new figures have been added. I think a note needs to be added somewhere to explain why some stations have plummeted and some have shot up. Incase anybody doesn't know it is due to the new computer system used which is supposed to stop the problems caused by station grouping e.g. Piccadilly and Victoria. Previously all trains to "Manchester Stns" would be added to Piccadilly and now they are estimated between the others. I'm not sure how a note could be worded as it is a little confusing. ┌Joshii┐└chat┘ 01:38, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, it's the old station groups issue.  The problem is finding a reference; I hope there might be one buried in the ORR website somewhere.  It hasn't really been covered in the Transport Ticket Society Journal, which is the obvious place I would turn to :) ... I'll investigate.

replies: text: Aha - found it!  This is the report accompanying the station usage figures spreadsheet.  No time to add text and ref to article now, but I'll pick this up tomorrow.  Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 22:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

message: thumb|RCH Junction Diagram no. 47 (1910). Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in blue
Regarding the text  added by , a link did exist in the past - to the east of the city. Just to the east of Miles Platting station, on the line to Ashton-under-Lyne, there was a former Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway branch of just under two miles length to Ardwick where a junction faced Piccadilly (then known as London Road), about half a mile out from that terminus. This junction was just to the north-west of the present junction at Ardwick for the Glossop line. The branch from Miles Platting to Ardwick was opened for goods in 1848 and to passengers in 1852, but had closed by 1970. It was definitely used by passenger trains between London Road and Victoria from 1902. See the RCH Junction Diagram no. 47 of 1910. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:17, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
