Template talk:Scottish railway lines

message: I removed this line as it is already covered as the Tay Coast Line and possibly others. I am just wondering now, what seperates a main line from a rural line? Simply south 21:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it necessary to have the (rather long) list of historical railway companies on this template?  It makes the template  a lot bigger. Also, it seems confusing to have railway companies on a template named railway lines.
I suggest removing them from this template, and creating a separate template for "Historical Scottish Railway Companies". --Vclaw 10:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The old one looked far nicer than the new one, in my opinion. What exactly is the difference aside from the look? The old one could 'collapse' in the sense that it could be hidden. --Dreamer84 23:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm no coder, but the old one was written as straight table in HTML, unlike most other navigation templates I've come across. Its something to do with the first few lines of code, and what other templates/function one is citing/activating by including them. I finally got around to, earlier today, converting all the "railway lines in great Britain" templates to a "v-d-e" type template, for some reason, presumable to do with this beginning bit, the Scotland one works differently and doesn't behave like the others. For commonality, especially on pages where there are several templates being called upon, i think it looks good if they are all collapse-able - for an example see the bottom of a page like East Coast Main Line. Graphically, i copied the colour scheme off the "main lines" template, but am welcome to other suggestions and if consensus is for a different design then by all means.

message: A noticable ommission from the Express routes. It was established as a "ScotRail Express" route long ago, using firstly the additional batch of push pull stock, and now an hourly service with 170's. It would cover the inappropriate Tay Coast line, which is just two uncovered routes lumped together better than thats current entry.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.129.31 (talk) 10:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree and it would recognise that this template covers the railway services that operate in Scotland (including the several which cross the border). --Stewart (talk) 15:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
