[edit] Template:WaterlooRegion
Thanks for implementing this... I'd always intended to but somehow never got around to it! Radagast July 4, 2005 21:37 (UTC)
- You're welcome. :) I was doing my usual cleanup of a couple of those articles, so I thought I might as well centralise the code into a template while I was at it. David Arthur July 4, 2005 21:40 (UTC)
Incidentally, great work on Ottawa O-Train in the past while, it's moved forward incredibly. I'll be in Ottawa at the end of the month and will probably providing lots of content for various articles, as well. Keep it up! :) Radagast 15:50, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Kitchener City Hall
Just got this article together this morning; I'd appreciate any comments, edits or additions you could provide! Radagast 14:01, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Looks good. I don't have much factual knowledge about the building, but I've copyedited the article slightly. The only other thought I had is that it seems to me that it would be more appropriate for the article to start with a description and picture of the current building, and then describe the past buildings and the architectural competitions in a separate history section.

[edit] Stations
However, there are problems - what if I want to write an article about the former Canada Southern Railway station in Niagara Falls? I can't use that naming format, while Niagara Falls (Canada Southern Railway station) works perfectly. As for the province not being in there, that could be added in. That way also makes the Pipe trick available. --SPUI (talk) 21:10, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] iXpress map
Very nice! Well done. Radagast 19:23, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] WWW
Thanks David for adding the "www." to the articles. I originally had the template with the www prefix, only due to constraints that I've now resolved, removed it. :)

[edit] WWW
Could you hold fire a sec please? I can sort things out because there's a template issue that's causing things to look a bit crap.
Thanks anyway
Samluke777 22:41, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
The template was causing some long urls to shift the "(s)" on "Region" to the next line.
I'm on the fix at the moment!

[edit] Kitchener train station
- "Grand River Transit have proposed relocating VIA to their bus station on Charles Street in downtown Kitchener".
Is this actually how the current proposal is set? If I recall, GRT wanted to relocate the bus station to King and Victoria at the old Epton site, so it would be by the tracks and VIA could just move a couple blocks south. These plans changed as the light-rail proposal evolved, and I believe VIA-colocation plans were dropped.
Bringing VIA tracks east to the Charles terminal at Gaukel would be an odd proposal, to say the least. Do you have this documented anywhere? Radagast 17:12, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
- OK, fair enough. I guess the next step would be to get hold of someone in the planning area and see what they actually intend to do with this. I work pretty close to the Region HQ, I might be able to stop by one day and bend a few ears. Radagast 17:53, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Toronto subway map
Looks great!
One more service to consider listing - Viva York's Blue, Green and Orange lines will be servicing different TTC stations by Oct 16. Would there be room to mark those interchanges? Just a proposal... Radagast 15:25, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey David.... I love the VIVA map. Can I ask you which software do you use to create it?
- The Viva map is straight Photoshop, though I’ve used Inkscape for most of my newer ones. David Arthur 20:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tramlink map
Image:TramlinkMap.svg contains two logos (British rail's and London Underground's) which are not free, and so should not be used in your image. I understand it is difficult to find a good free alternative, but it would be better. Ed g2s 16:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Great western
I found a source for the single brand theory, though it wasn't me who edited -
"The creation of a new First Great Western brand for the franchise, incorporating the existing high speed intercity services, First Great Western Link's suburban services out of London Paddington and regional services currently operated by Wessex Trains."
from http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/franchise/en/LatestNews.php
and "The new franchise merges three companies into one and the name of the new company will be ‘First Great Western’.
We have developed a modern and dynamic new look for the First Great Western brand to refresh, reinvigorate and broaden the appeal of rail travel throughout the region"
from http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/franchise/en/AdynamicNewBrand.php
Also amending 'waves' to 'dynamic lines' for the new livery suggests someone close to First Group, 'dynamic lines' sounds too corperate for a layman.
Finaly firstgreatwesternlocal.co.uk appears to be cybersquattted with no alternatives registered by anyone - including First

Why on earth did you put a {{fact}} re the statement that there can never be a king mother? It is like putting a {{fact}} note after a statement that Pope Benedict is male or that women don't have penises. A King Mother, as is patently clear, would be a biological impossibility. A king reigns as a regnant not a consort. He biologically cannot be a mother. Queen Mother means a former queen consort, still alive, who is the mother of the new sovereign. FearÉIREANN

[edit] Are we Agreed?
Was there an agreement reached on the {{British TOCs}} template that I never heard about? It seemed to me that, given the discussion had gone quiet, everybody seemed ok with the idea of leaving NIR and Enterprise there, but with the {{Irish train operators}} left on those pages. If it's the case that this was agreed unacceptable then fair enough. However, if this isn't the case, then it seems that someone has reached an agreement on their own and proceeded to alter the British template YET AGAIN without consulting anyone.

[edit] Hello, Railfan
You posted a very nice photo of the canadian O-train. Did you know that German Railways use these vehicles for their Regional bahn routes? In Germany I rode the same talent train Talent (train) Id wish to come to canada sometime. GK tramrunner 20:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC) you Rail-Fan-Mate!

[edit] Granville Station (TransLink)
I changed the link for Hudson's Bay Company because the character just before the apostrophe is unrecognized Unicode on my browser. Shows up as the rhombus with a question mark inside it. Carson 21:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
