Talk:Haymarket railway station

message: I know this probably a stupid question, but are you sure the WCML and ECML aren't the other way around as Lockerbie is said to be on the WCML in earlier stations e.g. Carlisle, DannyM 18:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

message: It is a POV that Haymarket station's name is not linked to bureaucracy. It is another writer's input to the picture, that Haymarket station's name is linked to bureaucracy. Do you believe in reflecting all angles to the picture, or don't you? 83.67.65.99
:: If you were to quote a written source that intimated a link between the name of the station and bureaucracy, or offered evidence that a significant body of opinion like a chamber of commerce or a local authority had tried to get the name changed and met with intransigence rather than sound argument, then your POV would have some facts to back it up. Wikipedia must deal with facts not opinions (it is in the rules) and theoretically every fact must be backed by reference to a published source. Every fact can if necessary be challenged with a request that a published source be cited. Such a request is usually followed by deletion if nothing is done to satisfy the request. Haymarket station has always been just that. If some petty official at LNER or BR or Railtrack had suddenly changed it to something else, that would have been bureaucracy.  Have the station owners at any time resisted a public request to change it?  That might be described as bureaucracy.  The fact that it is called Haymarket rather than Edinburgh Haymarket is not a reason for mentioning bureaucracy. Very many people would not wish to see the name changed but wikipedia is not the place to argue the matter, our voluntary job is to record facts not opinions. I did not remove all that you had written, I left the fact that the station was called Haymarket not Edinburgh Haymarket and unless you can quote chapter and verse (and I will be delighted if you do) then bureaucracy does not enter into it.

thread_title: POV or another writer's input ?

message: On thetrainline.com they have started to name Haymarket as "Edinburgh Haymarket", and Waverley as "Edinburgh Waverley" - when they used to refer to them as Haymarket and Edinburgh. 
Is this an official change or is it just a decision by thetrainline.com (qjump, virgin, gner, scotrail all use the same engine as thetrainline so are doing the same thing). Matt-thepie 20:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Haymarket or Edinburgh Haymarket? 

message: I think I read in December that there was going to be one or two additional platforms at Haymarket.  [Have been searching for article, but can't locate].  Did it say that the new platform[s] is[are] for services which will terminate in Edinburgh, and that the Fife Circle line will be one of those.  Can anyone else find the detail and expand accordingly? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Carena sez (talk • contribs) 19:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Haymarket railway station →  – "railway station" vs. "station" fails to actually disambiguate anything in this context - most of the others are also railway stations.  * Pppery * it has begun... 22:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
