- Not that I can find. I am particularly wondering about the coloured bars - I think they're being used to distinguish railway companies, but I haven't found a key. --ColinFine 17:25, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Colour-coding for rail operators
As far as I can tell, from existing articles:
- █ #FF0000 – First ScotRail and Virgin Trains
- █ #FFFF00 – Merseyrail
- █ #8B00FF – Northern Rail
- █ #800000 – Wessex Trains
- █ #010385 – First Great Western, GNER and First TransPennine Express
- █ #30C5B8 – Arriva Trains Wales and Heathrow Express
- █ #00BB00 – Central Trains and First Great Western Link
- █ #FF9999 – Heathrow Connect
- █ #008080 – Midland Mainline
- █ #2E8B57 – Hull Trains
I'm not sure why several operators have to share the same colour in some cases. In the absence of anything else, I guess this can be used as a quick-reference -- Gurch 22:30, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Some time recently, it seems to have been decided to go pink with First ScotRail, primarily to keep with First ScotRail's colours. Some of the big ones have already been changed, here, for example, on the 28th April. Some work has already been done on this, and as I've gone through, I've changed with this move. Can we reach quick concensus that oweing to First ScotRail's new colours, and that Virgin Trains serve some routes that First ScotRail do, we can move to
- █ #FF80C0 - First ScotRail

[edit] Auto-terminus
I've changed the template so that when "previous" and/or "next" are not defined, Terminus will automatically show up in the respective column. I hope this saves some space in the articles about termini. - Tangotango 18:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
