Talk:Alcester–Bearley branch line

Scope
I think it's a little misleading to talk of an "Alcester to Hatton Branch Line" when what was built was a Bearley to Alcester branch of the Stratford-upon-Avon Railway's Hatton to Stratford line (part of what Wikipedia now calls the "Leamington to Stratford Line" – although this overlaps with Wp's "Chiltern Main Line"). -- Picapica (talk) 16:32, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, you are right. This page needs to be retitled and rescoped to Alcester branch line. Afterbrunel (talk) 09:24, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

I have now edited the article to reflect what I feel to be a much more appropriate scope: as noted above, the Alcester to Bearley branch, although it met the Hatton to Stratford line at Bearley, was in nearly every respect a self-contained operation. My edits have not lost any of the information previously shown -- though I think it would be a good idea in due course to expand the existing Leamington to Stratford Line article to incorporate more historical background material, as here. -- Picapica (talk) 22:50, 17 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree. Afterbrunel (talk) 12:44, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Thornbury Branch Line which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 00:17, 9 February 2017 (UTC)


 * The effect of this was that the word branch should not be capitalised. I agree, although it strengthens my view that many editors are more interested in process and rules than providing information. Afterbrunel (talk) 09:27, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, this tends to be particularly the case -- in my sad experience -- where railway-related articles are concerned... :( -- Picapica (talk) 23:12, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
