Talk:Argyle Line

Route Availability
Is the inability of Class 320 rolling stock on the Argyle Line realy relevant?

In addition, the comment about tight tunnels seems odd since in the past the APT, Class 318 and Mk 3 stock have run on this line, and these are probbly not the tightest tunnels on the suburban Glasgow rail network. There may be an issue with a platform clearance, if so where? --Stewart 06:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Structure of Article
I think the flow of the article makes life difficult for readers; someone who wants to know what the Argyle Line is has to wade through "History" and then "1979 train service" for heaven's sake. Why that way round? --Afterbrunel (talk) 15:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Seems logical to me - an article in chronological order. You have now destroyed that order with your edit. --Stewart  ( talk |  edits ) 19:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

December 2014 Timetable Changes
The Whifflet Line service has now been incorporated into the acticle, however should the service to Lanark still be include as the trains do not run through the core section under Argyle Street (hence the name). As the Lanark services are now self contained into Central Station, maybe a new article - Lanark Line - with reference to the historical 1979 to 2014 timetable when Lanark trains ran through central Glasgow under Argyle Street. Thoughts? ==Stewart  ( talk |  edits ) 13:59, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Underground sections
How long are the tunnels and how many stations are underground. This is essential information that is not stated. 2A01:4B00:881D:3700:2C66:411C:ACEB:4BCF (talk) 18:43, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

This definition is a joke
The definition of "Argyle Line" as specified by this article and RDT is an absolute joke - it seems to indicate that literally any station served by a train which goes through Glasgow Central Low Level is on the Argyle Line. I think this is a Thameslink scenario - the service is called Thameslink, and covers a multitude of different routes, but the line itself is comparatively small. In which case, if, as the article says, infrastructure-wise the Argyle Line is the bit from Finnieston to Rutherglen, then what (infrastructure) line is all the other bits of railway? Some of it is WCML but most isn't. Can we split the infrastructure from the train service? -mattbuck (Talk) 15:44, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, and as a further problem, everything west of Partick is also claimed by the North Clyde Line. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:41, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * This concern was examined during the research for the latest update. Now that various source references have been added, the evidence corroborates the broad definition of "Argyle Line". Although the static infrastructure is more narrowly defined, the suggestion to split into separate articles would likely create unnecessary duplication. DMBanks1 (talk) 02:48, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
