Talk:Cambridgeshire Guided Busway

Page needs a bit of a general tidy up?
Is anyone watching this page? I'm thinking it needs a bit of a substantial tidy up and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts about how it should be done.

I've updated and consolidates the service information as that had become a bitty and out of date mess.

I'm thinking it could also benefit from more general updating, to refocus the article towards what the Guided Busway *is*, and to consolidate the information about the building process and disputes into a history section?

Routes Section Outdated
Hi,

The current routes section is not yet finished, however I have updated the table. Please can someone update the writeup for each individual bus route with information from thebusway.info

Has route R from the railway station also been withdrawn? Lawrence18uk (talk) 09:54, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Derailment vs deroadment
Personally I think the former term is best: this is what I added to the list of incidents as a heading. Later I found an official document (report on an incident iirc) containing the word deroadment so I reverted to that. I didn't think deroadment existed either! But who knows...

 * Just my 2p worth – I also don't think that deroadment is a word, and I don't think we have any duty at all to use an incident report's unusual language. That is, we would be promoting its use, in effect, and our job isn't to lead on language. If eventually it seems to be standard and accepted – like in lots of RSs, dictionaries etc – then sure we can look again, but for now I would prefer that we should omit it unless there is some very strong – stronger than the current! – evidence why we should use it. This is quite separate, by the way, from my personal dislike of it as a naff, twee and unnecessary invention! I do have that, but it is not driving my remarks here.

 * The guided busway has rails, and these are one of the busway's defining characteristics. Coming off the busway means coming away from the guiding rails. And "deroad" isn't a word. Millstream3 (talk) 12:35, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Stagecoach divisions
Stagecoach is described variously as Stagecoach in Huntingdonshire, Stagecoach in the Fens, but all these redirect to Stagecoach East in Wikipedia. Do these smaller operations genuinely exist or have they been subsumed? Lawrence18uk (talk) 09:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
