Cam and Dursley railway station → Cam & Dursley railway station – Station is named with ampersand per Great Western Railway and National Rail, thus article name should reflect per MOS:&.

 * Comment. What matters is not the official name but the common name, and usage appears to be entirely mixed. Google Street View from April 2023 shows the station totem uses "and", photos from January 2023 and (clearer) July 2022 show that the platform name boards use "and".

 * Oppose. Per my above comment and Redrose64's below, and a photo taken by a friend (that unfortunately I do not have permission to share) which shows the platform signs used "and" at least as recently as 3 May. Thryduulf (talk) 21:36, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:NCUKSTATIONS shows that the official name of the station should normally be used; if there is any doubt about what the official name is, the name given on the station platforms should be used. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 15:38, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Ampersands are generally best expanded unless they are exclusively used. See WP:AMPERSAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:19, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Ampersands are so 2005. Irrespective of what the official name is I don't see the benefit or value having "&" over "and" - Means the same thing and does the same job. – Davey 2010 Talk 23:31, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
