See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines: Shortcut: WP:Cornwall Articles are written using a standard set of headings (see suggestions for article structure here). This is to maintain consistency between Cornwall articles and to improve the quality of entries through a constant style of writing. These headings are, however, plastic and in a state of flux and although we welcome suggestions or improvements, we would appreciate discussion before any major changes to the layout yourself. Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty! At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline. These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish self-government movement, etc) and should not overflow into other articles. Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

[edit] Services infobox

The article contains the following services infobox:

Preceding station	National Rail			Following station
Bodmin Parkway or Lostwithiel *		First Great Western Cornish Main Line		St Austell
		First Great Western limited service		Newquay
Bodmin Parkway		Virgin Trains Cross-Country Route		St Austell
		Virgin Trains limited summer service		Newquay
Lostwithiel		South West Trains very limited service		St Austell
Terminus or Bodmin Parkway		First Great Western Atlantic Coast Line		Luxulyan
* Not all trains call at this station

Can somebody explain the difference between the second branch of the first entry (FGW limited service to Newquay) and the last entry (FGW Atlantic Coast Line to Luxulyan). It seems to me that they are duplicates, and I'm minded to merge them, but best to ask first.

Also there is an entry for South West Trains. I've checked their web site, and I can find no reference to SWT trains venturing further west than Plymouth. The entry says 'very limited service' without indicating what that means. Is this a timetabled service, or just an occasional excursion. Can anybody supply a source?.

Not sure on SW trains. Here is a sort of answer to FGW and Virgin at Newquay railway station. The limited service appears to b a summer service and maybe should be changed as such Changes to FGW timetable for summer Simply south 17:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The use of these boxes is currently Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways#Station links - why?being discussed at UK Railways - please join in.

Unless it has changed again, there is a once weekly SWT service to Penzance. Down on saturday evenings and return on Sunday afternoons. It appears in the FGW Devon & Cornwall timetable. Geof Sheppard 07:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
