It's not possible to verify any of the statements in this article as it does not cite the sources from which it was drawn. Wikipedia's Key Policy 6 - reliable sources - places justifiable emphasis on this to avoid the inclusion of original research, factual error, or inadvertent copyright violation. A very simple solution is for the original editor to include the sources from which the article was drawn, and thus give these their due credit. --apc 11:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

(Replacing warning template as above following removal) Some of this article appears to reproduce content verbatim from another website. That website is not cited as the source, nor is any other. In its current form, a reader has no way of verifying whether the content is assertion, original research, or historically correct. To address these points and avoid any inadvertent copyright violation, the original editor should specify clearly the source of the information, gaining copyright permission from the source if this has not already been given. --apc 13:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I've got rid of the History, i'll add it later on inn the week, please don't get rid of this page.C.bonnick 09:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not trying to get rid of the page, but it is important that it gives a direct credit and reference to the source of the information on it. Specifically, the information box and the route listing - these are identical to information on another website. Wherever these entries come from, the source needs to be approached for permission to reproduce them, and if it is granted, credit clearly given. This needn't be a big deal - it's quite likely that they'll give you permission without any trouble. There's even a standard Wikipedia copyright request form you can use. But if the page is left like this, there is a risk that the original source will complain about copyright violation and deletion will swiftly follow. That would be a significant problem, as the information boxes and many of the route listings for other routes seem to use the same source without crediting it. --apc 15:10, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
