Talk:Jubilee Line Extension

message: I've moved this to follow the naming we use at Jubilee line and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization). MRSC • Talk 08:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, but don't forget that the Jubilee Line Extension project is not the same thing as the Jubilee line. TfL itself capitalises the name, while using the lower-case "l" to refer to the line by itself - see e.g. . You will find this usage (capitals for the JLE, lower-case for the line on its own) throughout TfL's reports and PPP documentation (,, etc). As Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) says, "do not capitalize second and subsequent words, unless the title is a proper noun" - and TfL treats the term "Jubilee Line Extension" as a proper noun. -- ChrisO (talk) 08:34, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In which case we should capitalise London congestion charge, London low emission zone, Docklands Light Railway extension to Dagenham Dock, Oyster card etc. Of course TfL "capitalises" its projects in its publicity material, most organisations do. That doesn't mean we should follow the practice, especially when we have a house style that favours lower case use. MRSC • Talk 08:49, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said before, it's not simply used in publicity material - that's the way TfL's own internal materials, contracts, reports, PPP documentation etc, refers to it. Parliamentary papers, professional journals and local government documents use the same convention. See  for many more examples. Where proper names are concerned, I think we do have to make some effort to reflect the standard version. -- ChrisO (talk) 19:47, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Now that the frisson of having a new train set may have evaporated shouldn't this JLE be merged into the main Jubilee line article? Off hand I do not recall any other lines and their extensions living apart.--SilasW (talk) 14:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

message: At the time of planning the extension Simon Hughes was MP for Southwark and Bermondsey, through which the extension runs.  According to a speech he gave in Parliament on 11 Nov 2009 (documented in The Hansard) it was only on his insistence that Southwark and Bermondsey tube stations were included.  Here is the relevant part of his speech:
The next battle that I fought was about the Jubilee line extension that Mrs. Thatcher's Government wanted. They were in discussions with the people at Canary Wharf about paying for it, but the proposal that was the main runner was for the line to run from Waterloo to London Bridge and then directly to Canary Wharf without stopping anywhere in between. That case required private legislation, and I am happy to say that I blocked it for long enough to achieve what was needed. I later saw a memo that said something like, "If we don't give in to the local MP, we're never going to get this line at all." So I think that the most prized success of my political life has been winning two extra tube stations-one in Southwark and one in Bermondsey-at a cost of £25 million each. They are very valued stations, and it would have been a nonsense to have a tube line extension that did not stop to serve the local business and resident communities, and visitors. Fortunately, we were successful.
I think this is worth adding to the history section.  Ideally though it should be verified by some independent source other than just a claim by the man himself, and I don't know of any.  However as it was given in Parliamentary debate it seems like it couldn't be an outrageous lie.  Perhaps a mention could simply be made that Simon Hughes claims that this is the case?  (This also seems appropriate to be mentioned on the individual pages of Southwark and Bermondsey tube stations, not to mention Mr Hughes' page if it really is "the most prized success of [his] political life".)
