Talk:Cornish Main Line

The Track
I have removed this from the article:
 * Much of the track in the county is about 30 years old, hence the highest speed limits are at 70mph.

The line speeds west of Newton Abbot are all slow due to the curvature; I do not find track 30 years old on a secondary route as notable. If someone can find NPOV references to show that this is notable, then please return it to the main article. Geof Sheppard 12:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

History
How to handle the history of present-day railway lines is always tricky. In this article we jump from 1876 to 1967 with nothing in between.

The important thing is what the uninformed reader wants to read, and too much history detail can be off-putting. I also feel that history should go after the general information, not before it.

The West Cornwall Railway and the Cornwall Railway are dealt with elsewhere (in their own articles). I propose to amplify the history section here with an overview, but linking to those other pages for more detail.Afterbrunel (talk) 10:26, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Error in the diagram
There is an error in either the diagram on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_Main_Line which has the disused Helston railway joining EAST of Penponds or the diagram on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disused_railway_stations_%28Cornish_Main_Line%29 which has the disused Helston railway joing WEST of Penponds.

I don't know which is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.45.180 (talk) 12:51, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
