Talk:Ashington

message: The oddity with the 'village' claim is that if true, it makes Ashington undoubtedly the largest village in England, unless disqualified on other counts.  And yet nobody is making such a claim.  Morwen - Talk 17:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I think that reopening Ashington train station would be a good idea because it would improve links to Newcastle, and Tyneside. It would be good for the local economy by providing jobs and it would make it easier for people to travel around south east Northumberland and Tyneside http://www.senrug.co.uk/ South east Northumberland Rail Users Group. What could work would be to extend the metro network to link towards Backworth, Blyth and Ashington. 
Another idea could be to upgrade the line passing Linton which joins the east coast mainline near Butterwell opencast. This could not be Metro but it would be part of the British Rail network. This option would be cheaper as the line from Ashington Station via Linton to the mainline at Butterwell Junction is only about 3 miles and idea seen from Google Earth. Services would then connect Ashington to Newcastle, Morpeth, Alnwick. The only disadvantage with this option is that there would be no links to Blyth and north Tyneside but still it would give Ashington its rail service back.

replies: text: Hi, and firstly thanks for your hard work on this article. You have provided a very large amount of interesting additional information, but we do need to make sure that it is all encylopedic, particularly verifiable. I don't doubt that your thoughts above are good ones, but that does not make them encyclopedic. My comment that the statement re there being calls for re-opening of the line needing a reference stands. If you have not already, please could you read the following: WP:VERIFY, WP:NPOV, WP:OR. Local knowledge, "word on the street", etc are not sufficient on their own, you need to provide a reference to a published source. Halsteadk (talk) 14:10, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
