[edit] Stansted
I find no reference to Stansted in the text and I wonder what line it may be said to be on. It is mentioned in the text of Birmingham to Peterborough Line. Laurel Bush 17:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC).
OK. Think Ive found it, as a station on a branch of the West Anglia Main Line. Laurel Bush 17:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Cambridge Cruiser/Express
I changed the article to say Cambridge Express rather than Cambridge Cruiser because that's what it says on the departure information at Cambridge and King's Cross. "Cruiser" doesn't appear anymore. Where is Cruiser indicated as a name for the services? Rich257 07:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
It is still referred to this as a common name, for a start. Simply south 12:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Platform length
Is the through platform really that short (just 365 metres)? If I look up the platform lengths in the Rules of the Plan, I get 247 metres for platform 1 and 220 metres for platform 4, plus a few tens of metres for the central scissoirs crossover, adding up to over 470 metres. 212.144.172.166 17:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- The current Rules of the Plan that i'm looking at give;
- 1 - 247m (ie 12*20m cars)
- 2 - 207m (ie 10*20m cars)
- 3 - 166m (ie 8*20m cars)
- 4 - 220m (ie 11*20m cars)
- 5 - 167m with the notation next to it saying "Maximum EMU 4 Car plus DMU Class 158/170 2 Car. Alternatively 4 Car Class 158/170" (i guess that is because of power supply limitations or something otherwise it should be 8*20m cars, nb 158's and 170's are 23m long, most EMU around London are 20m's).
- 6C - 145m with the notation next to it saying "Maximum EMU 4 Car plus DMU Class 158/170 2 Car. Alternatively 4 Car Class 158/170". (ie should be 7*20m car but isn't)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:First logo cropped F.gif
Image:First logo cropped F.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
