[edit] Split

I'd like to begin expanding this article to include more information about the actual railway station and (to an extent) its surroundings. I believe that the information about the history of the railway is of value, but this is the wrong place for it. This article is titled "Hereford railway station", not "History of Herefordshire railways", which is why I will be creating a new article with that name and moving the information over there. This page isn't exactly popular so I don't expect much of a discussion on this -- this is just advance warning of something I will be doing! TwixWrapper 16:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

In the long-run, it may be better to write articles on all the railway companies mentioned in this article if they don't already exist. Our Phellap 17:43, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Why not simply "Railways in Herefordshire"? Simply south 13:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Look at what is currently happening with the articles for the Railways in Scotland. Separate articles are being gradulally produced for each of the original (Historic) railway companies in Scotland - for example Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway, Glasgow Central Railway and Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway. 81.151.254.218 16:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
This is an article on the railway station at Hereford, it would be the same thing as deleting the article for Danescourt railway station and writing an article on the history of the Cardiff City Line.. basically what i'm trying to say is, just make an entirely new article rather than merging another.

I've wanted to do this article for a couple of weeks and since the original user hasn't returned I went ahead with my own description of the building. I assumed that there was agreement on a name for the history article so I've moved it to Railways in Hereford. I'm not a train person so perhaps someone could look over the language I've used (is "siding" the right word for that kind of platform?). Ta. WindsorFan 21:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
