[edit] Station Templates
There is a discussion I started in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Brisbane, in regard to the template boxes I applied to the inner-city stations (and selected stations in the suburban/interurban areas). --Arnzy (whats up?) 14:16, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Station Photos
I would like to call out for assistance for all South East Queensland transport and railfans out there to take photos of their local stations (or even part or whole of the railway lines). It would be of good use for the station template progessively being implemented on the station pages.
All of the inner-city stations, Part of the Ipswich Line (to Indooroopilly), some of the Ferny Grove line and some of the Nambour/Gympie North Line stations has already got stations photos for the station infoboxes.
If anyone living nearby a particular station or railway line like to get photos of particular stations for station infoboxes, that would be a great help!. --Arnzy (whats up?) 11:05, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Citytrain miscapitalisation
As in the QR page, I have replaced the capital 'T' with a lowercase in Citytrain — the CamelCase of the business group is incorrect (Sydney's CityRail is in CamelCase). This brings-up a bigger issue, however, because the Wikipedia page for Citytrain (and every other page including the category) is case-sensitive and will need to be replaced with redirects to the correctly capitalised versions. Also, AirTrain is Airtrain, however TransLink is correct. I think Railbus is correct, and Trainsinfo is no longer used, replaced with TransLink. Seo75 18:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Six months on and doesn't look like anything has/had been done. I've done some significant work in the renaming, and requested a bot to do the rest. If anything has gone awry with what I've done so far, I apologise in advance. Seo75 01:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redcliffe Line
On what basis is the Redcliffe line still included as any sort of future project? It is most unlikely ever to be built. If built, why would anyone from middle to south on the peninsula drive to Kippa Ring, park, sit on a train and arrive at Petrie (still 35 minutes from the city) in the same time as they could drive to North Boondall or Deagon, board a Shorncliffe line train and be nearly at the City. As well as paying probably zone 7 fares. By the time you finally get to Northgate I'm in the Queen Street Mall doing my shopping. Doesn't make financial or logistical sense. --MichaelGG 10:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Regardless, it is still a future project (it has been for over 100 years). These days it is the most profitable suburban rail line – the corridor land was purchased ("reserved") by the Queensland Government towards the end of the Bjelke-Petersen era in the 80s when the line was most promised (well, looked most promising to be built at long last), and leased back to the original landowners. Didn't really progress any further than that, except for a considerable study which found the heavy rail option should be built (over an improved bus service or dedicated busway). Naturally the immediately-cheapest option won regardless... Seo75 12:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
