[edit] Timetables
Please don't add long sections detailing current and future timetables here, or include associated trivial items (e.g. mentioning that engineering works may change train tims).
Such enrtries are not encyclopaedic and are not really what Wikipedia is about.

- I'm going to step back from this edit war. I've tried to make my positiion clear on the anon users talk page User talk:81.109.234.187 as he's done the same thing to the Caledonian Sleeper page, and blanked talk pages to remove my concerns.
I don't believe this sort of information belongs in Wikipedia - a link to the GNER website is enough to obtain timetable information DrFrench 13:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

- Agreed as per User:DrFrench above. Fraslet 16:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

- Also agree that this information isn't suitable and that the links provide this info. Adambro 16:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

- Diasagree useful information --Prof Jolly 16:23, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry to be argumentative but in which category would it fit into? Because I can't seem to see on that fits --Prof Jolly 17:15, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

- I would say that it easily fits into WP:NOT#IINFO, also, I have never seen an encyclopedia giving timetable information, this is why the links on the page point at the GNER website so that a reader can access that information if they so desire. It is not the function of an encyclopedia to give timetable information. Fraslet 17:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History
What would be more useful (and more encyclopaedic) would be to add information about the history of the service. When did the first London-Inverness service run? When ws it first named the Highland Chieftain? etc... DrFrench 12:36, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
