Is it correct that Maidstone and Canterbury have lost their second station? Surely Canterbury still has two and Maidstone three? rossb 15:00, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
no - what this article should say is that with the advent of the SECR the towns and cites with multiple stations needed sorting out. Gravesend, Rochester (not Chatham), Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Ashford, Whitstable, Canterbury, the isle of Thanet, Dover, (St Mary Cray junction ?), etc all have multiple stations - some of which (eg Thanet, Ashford, ?) were correct by SECR, while others weren't and subsequently closed (whitastable, Gravesend, ?) and some remain (Canterbury, Maidstone, ?) --160.5.247.213 20:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] CWR - spacebar
Sorry to be terribly nit-picking, but this material is so well crafted it seems a shame not to fix the number of cases where your spacebar seems not to have worked, after full-stops and commas.
What motivated the edit was the section about the variety of means of traction. In the end I found there weren't any grammatical errors, but at first I felt there was an error there somewhere. It's perfectly correct, but it "threw" me. Perhaps it would be smoother if parentheses replaced the two hypens (before "built" and after "1839") ? --Edetic 05:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Do whatever needs to be done mate, as they say "be bold" - I'm illiterate when it comes to grammar (i didn't write this article) Pickle 07:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Revision suggested
Railways in the South East of England in 1840
The South Eastern Railway Company was originally proposed in 1836 to build a line from Dover to Reigate, where it would share the Brighton line into London via Croydon, running into London Bridge station which was owned by the London and Greenwich. It would seem then that some of this first paragraph is wrong since the London and Greenwich was a separate company and neither line initially ran anywhere near the Canterbury and Whitstable line. Does anybody mind if I do a rewrite and tidy on this? Chevin 14:45, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Please have a go and rewrite to list the Main line (SEML - ie redhill to dover) as coming first, but then put notes about later aquisition of london and greenwich and crab and winkle. IIRC this is an odl article thrown together not very coherintly ;) Pickle 22:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- OK I've got the info on its construction etc including Wishaw but am awaaiting a book for its later history. Chevin 08:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
