[edit] Depots And Routes run by them

Depots and routes run by them is a duplicate information as it is more relvant on List of National Express West Midlands Bus Routes. (Ucebaggie (talk) 16:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Although would it not be useful if it had the info like the addresses of the depots of National Express London?? Thanks...TOMBRANT407 (talk) 12:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree Ucebaggie, which is why it will be removed soon by myself. Tombrant407 - addresses aren't allowed on articles as Wikipedia isn't a directory apparently. They shouldn't be on the Travel London page really.

In general, this page is becoming messy now.. I shall be making sure it gets back to the high standard it was previously when I did most of the editing (on the old TWM page).

So does this mean that the Travel London addresses should be removed?? (I am copying and editing this comment on the Travel London and Travel Surry Pages.

[edit] Fleet - Rumours

This will probably be ignored, but can people stop posting rumours in the fleet section (and the article in general). I know the source of where they things tend to get copied from, and while it is usually accurate, it cannot be taken a gospel, and is not suitable as a reference point. Wikipedia is supposed to be a factual resource.

[edit] NXWM bus routes articles

I don't know where to say this, but here seems most appropriate. I have recently become worried about the standard of some of the National Express West Midlands (and Coventry) separate route articles. Some are in all honesty quite bad - when comparing them to the more developed London Buses ones.

I give examples of route 350, which has no intro, and gives details of "route" and "places" (what's that supposed to mean?!!); route 997 is also interesting, consisting mainly of a (large!) picture.

Now don't get me wrong, some of the articles are good. I don't like nominating article for deletion so I wont, nor do I expect the articles to gain featured article status. I just think some could do with a bit of developing, especially ones IMO at risk of deletion. Unfortunately, I don't have enough knowledge to improve the articles, but I hope some of you keen Wikipedians there can! Arriva436talk 20:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
