Talk:Cinderford New railway station

Name; and confusing wording
There is quite a lot of confusing phraseology in this article, but before I make an attempt to streamline that, has anyone got authoritative background for calling it Cinderford New station? Of course it was a new (replacement) station; but then so is the present day Paddington station, and we don't call that Paddington New.

The intro says that it was "a disused railway station that was opened by the S&W". Yes, I see what it means, but it reads a bit weird.

"The station was later operated by both the Midland Railway and Great Western Railway". Well, yes; the S&WR network was owned by the Midland and the GWR jointly at the time, although the GWR then got access from the FODR directly as well. But the station was operated by the S&WR Joint Committee. Midland trains ran into the station but that isn't the same thing at all.

And is it vitally important to know that locomotive no 7750 was built at Swindon Works? What colour were the driver's socks? Afterbrunel (talk) 08:49, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Cinderford New is the name given in Butt (1995), p. 61, for the station opened on 2 July 1900 on the extension. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 16:44, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
