[edit] Infobox

Not very pretty. But it doesn't appear any other railway line has this type of info box. Should it be removed? Bjrobinson 14:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to remove this then. Feel free to put back, if there is a specific reason it should be there. Bjrobinson 14:01, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Line diagram

I've added a basic diagram, feel free to add any additions, such as freight sidings at St Andrews Road or better layout of junctions

I don't know who made the above remark or when (please use the signature button) but I've just done a fairly major overhaul of both the article content (for the new enhanced timetable) and the line diagram. It might be a bit over the top now, I got slightly carried away! --Peeky44 (talk) 16:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Might it be worth using this method for things like minor road bridges (eg Whiteladies Rd and anything smaller)? The diagram is,as I hinted above, a bit huge for such a short line! --Peeky44 (talk) 07:34, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I added the diagram ages ago, Peeky44. Other short lines don't have the name for every road they cross, I think rivers & Motorways are OK and maybe A Roads, but I think the others are rather large! Mojo (talk) 10:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Class rating

I reckon with the recent improvements to this article, it's due for an upgrade to B-class. However, as I made many of these changes, perhaps that's not a Neutral Point of View, so I won't change it myself, at least not now. I'm also nominating it for Good Article status as I think it might well be up to that as well. Obviously if the GA status is approved by the appropriate reviewer(s) then B-class is no longer an issue... Any comments? --Peeky44 (talk) 10:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Easily 'B' class, so I made that change. I'll leave the more regular GA people to look into that, as I'm not sufficiently separated from Bristol to do the job properly, but I think at the least, it is better than your average 'B' class article. Splash - tk 12:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
