[edit] Ventnor (ex-)stations

The current links for Ventnor's now-closed stations are (IMO) incorrect! The first one (in the discussion) leads to the article about Ventnor in general... 'There were 2 stations at Ventnor:'. I agree with this one.
What I don't agree with is that the point about Ventnor Station also leads there, instead of to Ventnor railway station. The ones for Ventnor West/Ventnor Town lead to non-existent articles! I have re-written that section so the links are correct...
If anyone strongly believes this should be reversed, please comment below and let me know on my talk page.

[edit] Public Transport Map

I felt one was needed, and I produce one normally twice per year to roughly coincide with the bus timetable changes. Again, if you feel it isn't appropriate, or anything else related, please comment below.

[edit] Transport or transportation?

Since this is an article on a UK topic, shouldn't the title be "Transport on the Isle of Wight", not "Transportation on the Isle of Wight"? LDHan (talk) 11:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC).

I did think that, as most of the other UK articles I see are "transport", but I don't suppose it really matters as long as "transportation" is maintained throughout the article. Arriva436^talk 15:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Before the article was created there was discussion on the Isle of Wight talk page that a new article should be created, 'Transportation on the Isle of Wight'. Thats where the title came from. I think it would work as either. Transport on the Isle of Wight redirects here anyway. Editor5807 (talk) 17:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
