Talk:Blake Hall tube station

message: Wasn't a poet laureate given a job here so that he had a regular income and few distractions? Or is that an urban myth associated with the station?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bendel boy (talk • contribs) 14:44, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the title be "Blake Hall Station" or "Blake Hall Railway Station"? It is not a tube station. None of the other stations on the Epping-Ongar line are described as !tube stations".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4C8:1038:E25C:5897:8A48:181A:7969 (talk) 07:35, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It was closed when the Epping-Ongar section was still part of the Central line. It has not been reopened in preservation. Please also note that in page names, we do not capitalise the words "railway" and "station". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:22, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree that the article name is misleading. The station, opened 1865, was only effectively a 'tube' station run by London Underground from 1957 to 1981... 92 years a railway station (add the latest 14 years operated by EOR making 106 years) against 24 years as a tube station. I think the best name for the article is "Blake Hall station" which covers the article's various descriptions of the place. If an argument against this is that we name/describe an entity by the last/latest name or its current designation, then it still wouldn't be a tube/Underground station, and we would have to change the names of the other EOR stations to 'tube'. The argument for consistency in the initial query that the other stations on the EOR (also previously on the Central Line for 24 years) are described 'railway station', is a strong one.

Talk:Message discipline

message: First paragraph, I deleted "Essentially, they should try to manipulate any discussion to mislead voters through "glittering generalities".", because I don't see why not allowing oneself to be be distracted by questions or parasite thought is equivalent to actively deceiving and manipulating. And the tone used seems suspicious to me. And there is no reference.
And, on the whole, I think this article doesn't respect the Neutral point of view policy.

Talk:Hounslow Town tube station

message: it is mentioned later in the article that the current Hounslow East, which was a replacement for this station following its second (and final) closure was originally named Hounslow Town, and I think it remained so until 1925. Consequently I think that it is possible that someone seeing a reference to Hounslow Town Underground/tube station after 1909 might come to this article and without looking at in depth might not realise that it refers to a different station. I therefore wonder if something about this should be in the opening of the article or indeed if there should be a statement something like "this article is about the station that closed in 1909, for the tube station names Hounslow town 1909 to 1925 see Hounslow East tube station". This would be similar to the Charing Cross tube station were it directs readers looking for the formerly named Charing Corss tube station to Embankment tube station.

Talk:North Weald railway station

message: The comments regarding LUL over staffing Ongar and North Weald sound almost the same as comments I made on another website! However, it IS true they over staffed the stations among other things! A good example of the over staffing is Blake Hall, LUL would have as many as FIVE staff members there, although on average it was THREE for a station which was the size of a toilet and had about four passengers a day!!!
I could tell a lot more but won't as even though the information is 20 plus years old, only a very few people know it, and it could cause problems for people still working in LUL.(Spymo (talk) 23:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ongar and North Weald 

message: The article claims that this was some joke by the "Station Foremen", this is rubbish. It was a joke played by the BBC, and the BBC alone.

Want any REAL info on the Ongar line, then please contact me. (Spymo (talk) 23:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To be fair it was a bit of both . . .  someone’s pet scorpion escaped (from Bansons Way I think) and ended up on station property - long story short BBC got wind of this and decided that a rare breed of scorpion lived at the end of the track, by the buffers. They brought down to Ongar the scorpions seen on the programme. I have no doubt that Attenborough was p***ed, in fact I believe in the 1980s there was a bit of a stink over other nature programmes he did that turned out parts where staged. – So yes, the then station foreman (who shall remain nameless!) did stir it up, but the BBC weren’t blameless in it.(94.192.68.43 (talk) 23:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
