[edit] Split

I don't think Moorgate is managed by a train operator. MRSC 17:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] St Pancras

If one is splitting major/minor, I don't think St Pancras should be in minor at present, and St Pancras International surely should not be considered a minor station. This indicates possibly that operator is not a good way to make this split. Morwen - Talk 12:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I would suggest that a station is either "major enough" to be in this list, or is not included. MRSCTalk 17:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disused

copied from User talk:MRSC: While I accept that Holborn Viaduct can legitimately be included on the London railway station list, I think it's taking it a bit far to include Bishopsgate and Minories, since they were replaced by existing stations, not to mention the fact that there is no living memory of either of them. Taking that view, I think then that there is a case for including both Holborn Viaduct and Broad Street on the template {{Railway stations of London}}. Hammersfan 08/11/06, 12.35 GMT

I am personally of the view that this template should just show current stations. My reasoning is that adding more makes the template too cluttered with information. An alternative might be to create a template associated with List of closed railway stations in London (and some improvement of that article). What do others think?

[edit] Clapham Junction

Although it's not a Central London terminal, there are grounds to suggest that Clapham Junction should be included on this template. What do other people think? --RFBailey 15:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Given its status as a major hub for several different services (and operators), I would concur with that view. Hammersfan, 15/05/07, 13.32 BST

[edit] Thameslink stations

Is there some reason why City Thameslink and Farringdon have not been included in this box? They are both very central London and see a heck of a lot of trains per day.. I can see less of an argument for Barbican being included as that only sees a few Thameslink trains, and those only in the morning rush.--Peeky44 (talk) 17:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't object to including these two stations, although I'll wait a couple of days to see what others think. --RFBailey (talk) 19:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
