[edit] Carr Lane

The Carr Lane station is in Lancashire. That seems strange. JHJPDJKDKHI! 19:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Well-spotted. Now removed. Someone copied the table from The Garstang and Knott End Railway, and Carr Lane is (was) on that line. :I have also changed the sub-title 'Principal stations' to 'Stations', as I'm not aware that there were any others not already listed!
Not sure if both 'Quay' and 'Town' stations should appear on the list, but then I'm not really sure that the list needs to be there in the first place...!

The list mentioned has since been superseded by the Route Map. -- EdJogg 23:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Line today pictures.

It's a shame we don't have pictures of the line before 'today' under a free licence or in the public domain. I'm not sure whether it was right for me to put those images where I did. They don't seem to fit anyway, so I will probably remove them and maybe try to add them to the section on the line today at the bottom. JHJPDJKDKHI! 09:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't see why you say they 'don't fit'. OK, so the section text has not been expanded fully yet (I've been working on non-Wiki projects recently!) but the pictures help illustrate it. Somewhere I have a picture of the outside of the tunnel, which I planned to include, but I haven't found it yet. EdJogg 08:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ed, there is this one on geograph. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/42683 JHJPDJKDKHI! 09:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Hee hee - mine's better (two visible portals, no trees - if only I knew where it was...!) But thanks for pointing out 'geograph' - looks like somewhere else I'll have to start contributing... --- EdJogg 10:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information required...

As the article is edited, you may become aware of information that is missing. Rather than just dump hidden comments in the text, it makes sense to gather appropriate questions here. Please strike-out, once answered in the text. Remember that we'll need references!

[edit] History

  • Does not mention 're-birth' as Tarka Trail. When did this take place?
  • Should mention return of rolling stock to the line, at 'Once Upon a Time'. We have a closure date (unref'd?), but when did it open? Ultimately, closure date should be for when the rolling stock was removed (assuming the station is going to be / has been redeveloped for housing) since the closure date for the attraction itself can be mentioned in the station section.
