[edit] Routemap tweaks

As requested, I have adjusted the following:

  • Line ends 'frayed' using 'LUECKE' symbol
  • Other railway line link names in italics (this is personal preference, but I think it helps to distinguish stations from lines.)
  • Highlighted the junction station (Newbury), helps to 'lift' the name above the surrounding images/text.
  • Moved most of the names from the 'notes' section into the 'station names' section (by removing a '|').

Also note that it is usual practice, on these pages, to provide a list of links to the settlements served. Elsewhere on the page, and particularly on the routemap, other links should point to the station article. Where no separate station article exists, feel free to create a redirect back to the page where you will be describing it. The redirect may then be added to the appropriate 'stations opened in <year>' and 'stations closed in <year>' categories, and noted as 'printworthy. (See Braunton railway station from the Ilfracombe Branch Line for an example of this).

Further enhancements could use the new {{RoutemapRoute}} template to indicate the direction of travel on the various lines, but the upgraded version has not been finalised yet.

Hope this helps

The route map shows two stations at Newbury, when in fact the Lambourn branch terminated in a bay platform at Newbury station. -- Sangwine (talk) 20:11, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
