message: Right, I've had a bit of a copyedit around here and tried to make the article a bit more readable. One thing I did find, and have tagged the article accordingly, is that it really wants a lot more sourcing. I took out a lot of weasel words (Many people think...) and tagged a few more specific examples, but it's difficult to do too much without destroying the facts in the article. I know enough about the subject, for instance, to know that practically every railwayman in the country thinks that the Beeching Axe was an attempt by Ernest Marples and the road lobby to cripple the railways, but my (admittedly brief) net searching failed to turn up a huge number of reliable articles making that accusation directly. The Ian Hislop one on the Beeb was the closest I came.
So yeah, those with more access to railway history books than I, it would be really good for the article if you could go through and give a few references for some things - particularly generalised statements that might well be challenged. Brickie (talk) 13:19, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

message: This article currently might be titled "History of British Rail" - could someone who knows a bit about any other aspect of rail transport - including trams, underground, and preserved make a start .. Just a brief section that can be built upon. Doesn't have to be perfect. Thanks.Imgaril (talk) 17:03, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

message: It's just another version of the British Rail article. It covers the same ground. If it really was covering the history of rail transport in GB it would, for example, include the growth of heritage railways.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.2.89.14 (talk) 09:08, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
