Talk:Settle-Carlisle Railway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

what exactly is the rationale for moving this to "Settle to Carlisle Railway". Settle and Carslile is by far the most common name for the line. G-Man 20:07, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I agree, this move is illogical as it's universally known as the "Settle and Carlisle Railway". Who moved it? (I can't spot the move with a cursory look...) -- Arwel 22:36, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

moved again to Settle-Carlisle. By the following reasoning:

The most common name is Settle-Carlisle, that is what we should use with redirects from everywhere else. The S&C is a colloquialism I think, I'm not sure what the Act of Parliament used but ess-'n'-see is easier to say than ess-t'-see (in my best Yarkshire/Cumbrian accent)

Your search results are pretty meaningless as words such as 'and' and 'to' are excluded from the search.
Also all the books I have refer to it as the 'Settle and Carslile Railway' also nearly all the links are to Settle and Carslile. I dont see why it shouldent be moved back G-Man 23:08, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
No axe to grind either way but I've just fixed all links to the redirect pages to point to Settle-Carlisle Railway. Will watch this page and undo if necessary. Dave.Dunford 19:13, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As a train-spotting Yorkshireman who has read widely on the subject of the S&C I think it ludicrous to call it anything but the Settle and Carlisle. It is in this form that it has gained the fame that grants it a place in this project. In addition, throughout the article reference is continually made to the S&C, not the S-C or the S to C. --Northener 14:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


Have added Langwathby to the list of stations and created a page for Langwathby Railway Station and also altered Lazonby and Appleby station pages can someone tell me why Langwathby was missed out in this article. Penrithguy 22:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
