thread_title: updated webpage

message: What are people's thoughts on station articles for this line? The problem is that there is very little information available on any of the stations, for example there are no opening or closing dates since neither happened. We might be able to get a site photo, and some co-ordinates, but realistically there is never going to be any more information beyond that.
So the question is: is it worth making articles for each 'non-station' on this line? My answer would probably be no to be honest. --Dreamer84 21:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you. There might be sufficient info to talk about goods traffic. Could possibly make one out of the Linwood branch (Pressed Steel), but there did not appear to be a passenger station associated with this one.Pyrotec 21:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur - I suggest that redirect pages are created from station pages to the line article. This would ensure that in the event that a search for a station is made, it would send the searcher to the line article. It would probably be best to include the Linwood (Pressed Steel) information in the main article. --Stewart (talk) 05:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. I have set up the station pages as redirects, and removed the links on this article (and the route template). --Dreamer84 09:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While photos are good, we can't have articles that have nothing but photos in them. Any snippets of information about the stations could easily go on this page, along with photos of the stations (or links to photos of the station). --Dreamer84 12:21, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Station articles

message: Does anyone have any concrete knowledge there was a station at Foxbar, Paisley  apart from the reference to it on Railscot.  Ewan Crawford didn't reply to my email on this.  I haven't been able find anyone locally who has heard of it. Also, neither Alisdair Wham or CJ Gammell mention it.
cheers
Eric

replies: text: Jowett showns a junction and a short branch in the Foxbar area, could this be the elusive Foxbar. --Stewart (talk) 20:33, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

text: It sounds like it might be another Fairie (Low), station names getting confused etc. I'm always hesistant to list Railscot as a sole source for anything: although its a great website with lots of info, there are the odd errors here and there. No better or worse than some published sources I suppose though (I'm looking at you Stenlake Publishing!). --Dreamer84 09:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Foxbar

message: Railscot says the connection was never completed, however this 1923 map (from Paisley wikipedia page) clearly shows that it was. We don't know which is correct so I was going to incporate both versions. What do you think ?
 - Station is the black square in the centre above Glasgow Road (yellow)
cheers
