Talk:Avocet Line

Should this be merged with Exmouth branch railway?
I don't really see a reason for these two to be separate articles. I would propose a merge but have no idea how and don't have much time right now; hopefully someone with more time will pick this up and do something. --Muzer (talk) 01:14, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

✅ The Avocet Line is the name given to the current service operated over the Exmouth Branch Line. As Wikipedia generlaly uses current names for its articles where possible, I feel that the Avocet Line page is the one that should be kept and expanded to include the history given in the newer article.

✅ Same page. If anyone wants me to merge this page, send me a message and im happy to do it thanksbutnothanks 20:07, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

✅ I support this merge, they are the same line. I will close this in 7 days if there are no further comments, and invite the previous editor to do the merge (or do it myself). --NHSavage (talk) 19:59, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Use of unqualified present tense
The article states that a number of things are the case. For example "[Exmouth station] is the fifth busiest in Devon." This turns out to be based on a 2009 document, i.e. 14 years ago. Is that true today? I don't know, but it's fundamentally unwise to use these statements without some time-based qualification. Can someone update it and add a time statement, please?

 * Not able to take a good look myself at the moment, but it could be replaced with, say In 2014, Exmouth... etc. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 18:19, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
