replies: text: Compromised, I assume people wanting East Lancashire Railway will be automatically wanting the heritage railway, so I moved the See Also section to the top and changed it as a common disambi. Any problems add to the this talk page. -Jrgnet 19:22, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  9F 

message: I can't agree with the assesment for this article as there is a lot that needs to be added to it yet. It the moment it consists of a couple of paragraphs of text and a long list of locomotives of interest only to railway enthusiasts. What happened between 1859 and 1987? How did revival of the railway come about? Who owns it and runs it? How many of the locomotives actually run on the railway and are they on show when they're not running? Where are the references?

message: What are people's thoughts on the proposals to include the ELR as part of Greater Manchester's train/tram network in the future? Are these proposals worthy enough to be included on this wikipedia page? Are they at all likely to come about?

I suppose the ELR would still exist, but commuter trains would also run along the route (during the week) and it would be possible for ELR trains to run further onto either the mainline or the Metrolink line..? (Probably not the latter.) David (talk) 02:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

message: How long does it need to be before a currently away is permanent or semi permanent or homeless ?
(Some items listed havent been back for several years and others have not declared intention to return)
My thoughts are.. if it's not been in 6 months the move should be considered at least semi permanent and therefore a "has been" not a temporary.
If this article is to be honest.. if it's not there it's not there.
Maybe create a section on engines that have operated at the ELR ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.241.213 (talk) 20:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Resident steam locomotives currently elsewhere

message: Was at the ELR last year, yes. But is that really a justification for including it in the "Locomotives" list, giving the impression that it's a "home" loco? 109.149.143.15 (talk) 00:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
