Talk:Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway

message: The Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway Co viaduct in Sheffield, at the site of Sheffield Victoria Station was named the Victoria Viaduct. No entry for this can be found in Wikipeadia. In Sheffield it is almost universally referred to as the Wicker Arches and has a wiki page of that name. I am suggesting changes to Wikipeadia articles and references to this structure. Please post all comments and opinions on the Talk:Sheffield page.

thread_title:  What are the Wicker Arches? 

message: I see no reason to redirect this article to GCR - it was a company that lasted 50 years until it was renamed as such - and the latter only lasted 17 years! There must be much more to say - it covered a large area of northern England and had its own story to tell. The GCR episode brought it down if anything else!!!! Peter Shearan 09:48, 24 July 2006

I am beginning to rewrite both this and the Great Central Railway so as to conatin the details of each Railway's history within that article. That way, there need be no mention in this one of the London extension, which happened after the GCR came into being, nor much mention of later closures of lines.

replies: text: The MSLR and the Great Central Railway were the same company just renamed. I dont see a case for this being split. G-Man * 16:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't say anything about the GCR. The SA&MR wasn't a subsidiary of the M&SLR as the article implies, it was the beginning of it. Chevin 18:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirect

message: I'm sorry but I still dont quite understand the logic of splitting this from Great Central Railway. The MS&LR and the GCR were the same company just renamed when the London extension was opened. Personally I think they should be re-merged, with MS&LR redirecting to Great Central Railway.

replies: text: Well seem as no-one's commented on this. I'll at some point get round to re-merging the articles. G-Man * 18:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Why split?

message: I'm trying to get more information so I can correctly link Sheffield Railway in the Bridgewater Canal article.  The reference for this information is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgewater_Canal#cite_note-13 - could anyone help? Parrot of Doom (talk) 16:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sheffield Railway 

message: For a cutting edge venture of its day, there is little mention of the engineers and men that built the lines, embankments, stations, tunnels, goods yards etc. etc. 
Is this information unknown or has it been assumed that no one is interested in such trivia?
I for one would like to know more about the years 1845 - 1849 when most of the work was actually done. The day to day operations of the railway are not the interesting bits of the story.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.163.213.196 (talk) 22:31, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Template:Infobox company is not really relevant to a railway because it lacks fields that are peculiar to a railway. whereas Template:Infobox rail company is relevant. The the fields that not found Template:Infobox rail company but found in the former could be added to Template:Infobox rail company Peter Horn User talk 17:55, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
