Talk:Filton Abbey Wood railway station

message: Can some clever person please change Abbeywood to Abbey Wood (the station title is definitely two words) on both the article title and in the text. Thanks - Adrian Pingstone 20:19, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Change name

message: The change from Portakabin to temporary building may seem petty but others have been sued, or at least threatened, over this sort of thing. Lawyers write to magazines insisting that their brand name is not used generically. I can recall Private Eye having a problem with the legal people acting on behalf of Biro and I think Tannoy have done the same thing. Britmax 09:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that the service pattern at Filton is too complex to show in full. Don't forget that this is an encyclopedia, not a timetable.  How about this...
There are esentially just two FGW routes (lef tor right at Filton Junction), each of which has up to three terminal points at one end or other, plus the odd CrossCountry service. Geof Sheppard (talk) 13:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Service pattern

message: There are some anomolies in the article:
re Filton Junction:
"The station buildings were demolished in 1976, as were the platforms serving Badminton Line trains, as no trains on this line called at Filton anymore. The remaining two platforms had small replacement shelters built on them.."
This is not strictly the case - the Badminton platforms were demolished well before the station buildings - this allowed for track realignment on the curve toward Stoke Gifford. In fact one of the photos accompanying the article shows the station buildings to still be substantially intact in June 1977. 
Name:
"..and for 58 years was known as Filton Junction"
The length of time seems irrelevant unless you say what the name changed from and to - It reverted to plain 'Filton' on 6th May 1968  $$ below
History:
"The first, Filton, opened in 1864 just north the site of the current Filton Abbey Wood..."
however next paragraph:
First Station:
"The first station at Filton opened on 8 September 1863 when services began..."
Further Information may be worth including
re the Goods yard:
The article reads "Facilities included a shed and covered loading platform, and, in later years, a coal depot..."
A coal siding was added after WW1 (designated 'NCB siding' after 1948). Goods facilities closed on 5th July 1965 except for coal traffic - $$ Source: Selected GW Stations Vol 1 - RH Clark publ OPC
By this time a large Coal Concentration Depot had been established in the goods yard. "Opened in October 1965 by the Chairman of the National Coal Board, Lord Robens. Trading as the Bristol Mechanised Coal Company Ltd it was the first concentration depot in the South West of England, and the most modern of its kind at the time." Source http://bristol-rail.co.uk/wiki/Filton_Coal_Concentration_Depot
This seems important enough to warrant an expansion of this paragraph? 
Track Layout Changes:
Is it worth mentioning that when the lines running from Bristol to Filton were quadrified, the Badminton lines become the 'Main Lines' whilst the South Wales lines became the 'Relief Lines' between Filton Junction and Doctor Day's Junction. Later de-quadrified as part of the Bristol MAS project in the late 60s but currently undergoing re-quadrification?

message: "where facing cross-overs allow transfer between the Main and Relief lines and v/v,  and just south of Filton Junction No. 1,"
Some sort of technical jargon? Only thing I can find online is to do with volume in chemistry. Incidentally this section was massively changed last month and I doubt that the old references that are used stand up anymore.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Victoriosissimus (talk • contribs) 00:04, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
