Renamed the page to make Wattleglen one word, which is correct for the station. (See VICNAMES, click on Find>Find a place>, enter place name "wattle*", enter municipality NILLUMBIK SHIRE, and click Find. You will notice that the entry marked RSTA (railway station) is one word, even though the other three entries are two words.)

• Nevertheless, the name used by Connex is Wattle Glen - that may be an error on their part, but the two-word name is the one presented to the public - on maps, in the street directory, even on the platforms. If the official name isn't actually in popular use, and exists only in some arcane database, should we use it? It seems a case of two conflicting "official" names, that used by the Geographic Place Names Register, and another used by the relevant transport authorities/companies. Which would take precedence?

The correct name has been drawn to the attention of Connex' marketing department, and I think you may find that the next published timetables have the correct name. Connex do use the correct name on at least some internal documents. Philip J. Rayment 11:42, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
