[edit] Possible renaming

The article for a London heavy-rail railway station s is usually "XXX railway station" which makes it clear that the subject is a train station. Some stations also have "XXX station" redirecting to "XXX railway station". That might let the hurrying unfamiliar searcher score first time. But some articles follow their own schemes.
The article for Willesden Junction railway station is "Willesden Junction station". Both "Willesden Junction railway station" and "Willesden railway station" redirect to it. As there was another edifice called "Willesden railway station" which till now has had no article the WJ data should be put in WJrs with mild zapping and "For that, go there".--SilasW (talk) 16:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

But a main reason for this particular station to be "station" instead of "railway station" is because it is an interchange between two (or three, sort of) different modes of transport - NR/LO services and LU services. Simply south (talk) 16:26, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The naming, and layout, of railway station articles need a standard. For WJ the article might well be "WJ stn" because of its mixed use, though Richmond as "R tube stn" is, despite LO & LU, really the SR station. But I aim to get "Willesden railway station" for re-use with a hatnote linked to WJ's article, as everyday speech often loses the "Junction".--SilasW (talk) 20:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
