Possible renaming for this station due to a disused railway station on Merseyside (see here) with the same name? (Stuey 182 13:33, 13 April 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Duly renamed and disambiguated -- Chris j wood

Is it "one of the last" illuminated banner repeater signals on the London Underground or "THE last" - can anyone tell me? Zir 14:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs additional citations[edit]

This article is full of fascinating facts about the history of transport in West London. If only the original editors had taken a moment to cite their sources, e.g.

Proposal that Crossrail line 1 will call here in [this version] by User:OwenBlacker
Date of Construction and first services in [this version] by User:ChrisO.
Opening date, "area of market gardens and orchards", history of line including curve section and Grove Road station, former service from Paddington to Richmond, and reference to Ravenscourt Park extension in [this version] by User:DavidCane

I'm not trying to be picky, it is just frustrating that these three highly experienced wikipedians have such useful source information up their sleeves that I would love to read in the original. Sigh - Pointillist (talk) 21:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No reply for six weeks, so I've asked Slambo (the admin who originally rated this article B-class on Sept 26, 2007) whether it can be down-rated for lack of verifiability. - Pointillist (talk) 21:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

C seems reasonable to me for this article right now. In future, when there is no response for a while, it can often be taken as tacit agreement. When I don't see a response to a message for a few days, I put my own response saying something like "okay, seeing no response, I'm going to do it." Slambo (Speak) 14:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Of course, what I really wanted to see was the source info - it doesn't give me any pleasure to down-rate an article. - Pointillist (talk) 16:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Refs added. Sorry I hadn't seen your request for citations, I have a lot of articles in my watch list. Having identified a specific user that you wish to respond, the best way to get a response is to leave a note on their talk page. As lack of refs was the reason to downgrade I will restore it to B status.--DavidCane (talk) 22:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DavidCane, many thanks for the references: I've just taken a quick look and I'm looking forward to exploring them in detail. Much appreciated - Pointillist (talk) 22:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photos[edit]

I've reinstated a couple of photos recently removed by Sunil060902 - none of the new ones feature any trains. I know service on this branch can be intermittent at times but it's not that bad ...Zir (talk) 21:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this article is about the station not the trains, and the older photos are out of date, since D-stock is refurbished with all-red front-end, and 313 units are no longer operated by Silverlink. If you care to check, plenty of station articles lack pics of trains, so this is not the only one! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 11:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Signage for station name[edit]

The signage for the station name is in caps as opposed to the next station on the line, Gunnersbury, where signage is in upper and lower case. Is there a logical explanation for this?Headhitter (talk) 13:46, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe TfL re-signed it in LU style (because of the District Line presence) not realising that it's NR-owned. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:49, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
