Talk:Northern Line (Sydney)

message: Does anyone else think that the stopping pattern info on all these CityRail line pages looks too directory like and un-encyclopedic? Its just a regirgitation from the Cityrail timetable. It's very transient and liable to change I can't imagine anyone finding it constructive. Will it all be ammended with the next timetable re-write?Quaidy 10:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. While some have suggested that the stopping patterns show the relative importance of the stations, I think this could be better achieved in the text of the article. Joestella 12:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Quaidy, it's not just about what you think. It is not "directory-like" or "unencyclopedic" - they are your own opinion, and those terms are yet to be defined by anyone on here - I have asked people to provide a rationale for that being as such, and no one has answered that. The next timetable update will include the Epping to Chatswood Line, which will completely change the makeup of the line - but the line's patterns haven't changed for some years now, apart from the fact that some peak hour trains used to stop at Meadowbank instead of West Ryde. I'm happy to change it though to something more resembling the Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra railway line, Sydney article, which has opening dates and distance sections instead of the stopping pattern buttons - although it should be noted that when I took them out of that article people asked for them to be replaced... I can't win. How about we stop whinging and get on with improving the article... JROBBO 07:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I know its just what I think- thats why it's on the discussion page! I just think the info would read better in text rather than a large table. Opinions are still allowed last time I checked.Quaidy 10:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: After being accused of being a vandal, I thought I'd raise this here. I think that the large station table on this and other Cityrail pages is too big and directory like for an encyclopaedia page. Would anyone read it? It seems a rehash of information that could easily be found on the official Cityrail website. Thoughts (with civility please)? Endarrt 01:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed some links to this article are styled red and bold. I assume it's because CityRail colours this line red on maps; however, it's confusing as they look like Wiki Redlinks. I'd like them set back to the default link colour for clarity. Your thoughts? --Breno talk 00:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The request above was refactored by User:Amakuru as a request affecting all the CityRail lines rather than just this one, as it wouldn't be logical to create an inconsistency even if the original request was held to be valid.
The original move request was:
:Northern railway line, Sydney → Northern Line (Sydney) — According to the article, the name is "Northern Line" 184.144.166.85 (talk) 02:12, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Note on this move request

message: :Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *Support or *Oppose, then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
*Oppose. Its a railway line, and it's in Sydney, so the change seems unnecessary. All of the other lines in Sydney are named as per this convention. MrHarper (talk) 03:36, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As for Northern Line: I would accept the proposer's rationale as the article is almost wholly about the service rather than a physical line from a to b, but this should be part of a discussion involving a few other articles as well (and perhaps they should begin with CityRail?? that is the name given to the service which links to the relevant more general article on the line. Some redirects and hat notes sorely needed here, but that is another thing Crusoe8181 (talk) 04:40, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
