[edit] Expand

A lot of the article as currently stands is a list of stations and description of the currently open former LSWR lines. This stuff is listed elsewhere I think - isn't there an SW main line article ? Expansion is needed, re the companies history etc.... For example, what about the territory battles with the GWR over things such as the LSWRs plans for a London to Bristol route, and others. Wikipedia railway related articles seem to be, in the main, about listing basic facts (e.g. list of stations on a route). Encyclopaedic articles are much much more than the hum drum ladelling out of the dull basics. Thoughts ? Discuss here and add your views--jrleighton 03:14, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
