Talk:Farringdon station

message: :Image:Crossrail icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Crossrail icon.png

message: This  fixes a number of issues:
* Convert bare references to use  template to make them more informative and to avoid .
* Add  and  to all web references in case the original referenced material ceases to be available.
* Remove redundant accessdate information.

* References that include the article title, author, publication name, publisher and publication date are much more useful to readers than a bare URL. The  template provides a simple way to add that extra information.
* Replace web with news for newspaper references.
* Add  or  after the  parameter where appropriate.
* Archiving the referenced web content also preserves a separate copy just in case the original URL stops working.
* Adding archive data to references through the  and  parameters is further aided by the fact that the Internet Archive Wayback Machine now supports on-demand archiving of content.
* Once the original publication date and/or archivedate have been recorded, the accessdate is irrelevant and should be removed.
Similar work is needed on the majority of rail and tube station pages, but there is just too much of it for one person to tackle in a reasonable timeframe.

message: I heard Farringdon Station is (supposedly) haunted by a ghost called 'The Screaming Spectre'. Can we include that? VenomousConcept (talk) 22:03, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Screaming Spectre  

message: The paragraphs about The Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) and 4 lines modernisation and Thameslink are not especially relevant to Farringdon and go into detail that would make more sense in separate articles about those projects/railways. 82.46.163.160 (talk) 10:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Digression 

message: I think this section is not appropriate to an article on a particular station served by the SSL, but I have nevertheless undertaken a clarification.
The four so-called 'lines' of the SSL are better understood as service patterns on the SSL network. During engineering works, for example, diversionary routes are used that don't follow the usual coloured line routes, and there's no technical reason why trains shouldn't run from (say) Upminster to Uxbridge. Hypothetically, the H&C line could cease to exist - it is either sharing track  the Circle (and Met) Line or the District Line (with the small exception of Aldgate <-> Liverpool Street.)
The four lines have not been grouped together for modernisation - they are a single (sub) network and where two or three "lines" are sharing track, platforms, etc, they must share a signalling system. The upgrade will of course be phased, but that can't be done in "line" based phases. 82.46.163.160 (talk) 11:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
