Talk:Bedminster railway station

Butt - is it accurate?
Is Butt's book the only one that claims that Bedminster station was orginally called Ashton? MacDermott, the Avon County stations gazetteer, and Oakley make no mention of this? Geof Sheppard (talk) 16:26, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * OS first edition map confirms that station was closer to Temple Meads when surveyed at some point in 1881-3, but gives name as 'Bedminster station'. See http://maps.bristol.gov.uk/knowyourplace . Suggests that if it was ever called Ashton station, it was renamed then moved, rather than "moved and then renamed" as the article currently has it. But personally it seems unlikely to me that it was ever called Ashton station, given that Ashton is further from Temple Meads and Bedminster is a very old name for this area.

 * According to Butt, there have been two stations named Bedminster. The present one was always so named, and opened in 1932. See also discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways. -- Red rose64 (talk) 18:59, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I know it's tedious, but WP:RS does seem to rule out using 'wiki' like systems as a source, even when it's OpenStreetMap (whose reliability is often BETTER than other mapping providers).

I think you should bring the issue of OpenStreetMap's reliability up, as whilst within the letter of the policy, replacing OSM with OS seems to be not within the intent of WP:RS. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:03, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I noted your edit summary "sigh, OS map then, which no one can actually see. stupid RS". Actually, OS maps are highly visible, since the 1:50000 and 1:25000 layers on Streetmap.co.uk are the OS maps, and the OS Getamap site also shows maps at these scales.
