Remote rail station[edit]

"According to museum staff, the reason the rail station is so remote is that Lord Rothschild did not want passing trains to upset his menagerie." I don't doubt that museum staff say this, but since the railway was built in the 1830s and Walter Rothschild was born 1868 it is clearly not true. DaveRo 21:36, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What relevance does this have to this article? Please only discuss subjects that involve the actual meuseum. (Electrobe (talk) 10:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]

It says that in the article. Obviously. Why else would I mention it? I didn't just delete because the Museum Staff may well say that for all I know. DaveRo (talk) 18:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Add it to the article! Jobjörn (talk) 10:37, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Class=start[edit]

Rerated this from C to Start. Firstly, the article is too thin for >start, and there is info that could be added, eg, location map, relationship to locality, how Rothschild built the collection, the building itself, etc; secondly, there are no inline citations - an essential for wiki - and, in particular, the story about the siting of the train station needs to be verified, although much-quoted (myself included!).
