  • Oppose - we can't go and correct spelling mistakes made by the railway companies. This is the correct spelling of the station name. Warofdreams talk 16:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - although I had initially used Oughtibridge as the station nale, it has been made clear to me that the station's name is indeed Oughty Bridge, it should naturally be used as the article name. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 16:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose — This is the correct station name. See the station sign in this photo as an example. —JeremyA 21:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose — The photo seems to clinch the matter. - roundhouse 02:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Yeah, sorry. I'd not realised it was originally a spelling mistake! Is it best to wait for admin, or shall I just edit it away? L.J.Skinnersomething to say? 02:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
The result of the survey to move Oughty Bridge Station to Oughtibridge Station ended with a consensus not to move.
Records show this above.
