Pronunciation
Can someone please help by supplying how the word Corrour is pronounced, using the WP phonetic alphabet, which I personally find difficult. "Corrour" has three syllables, the second syllable is stressed and it and the unstressed third syllable are pronounced to rhyme with “bower”. This is the same as how the Gaelic "Coire Odhar" is pronounced. Exbrum (talk) 22:14, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

/* Services */ Updated to show sleeper now routed via GLQ (Low Level)
I have corrected the paragraph on "Services", not for the first time. It does make me wonder if such a paragraph belongs in an encyclopaedic article. It is going to need constant updating. Must be a nightmare for a busy station! Does it really add much value? Anyone interested would be better just looking up the timetable. Exbrum (talk) 21:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * We have WP:NOTTIMETABLE and WP:NOTGUIDE; we usually take this to mean that the services may be summarised (as in "At off-peak times there are three trains per hour to X, two per hour to Y and one per hour to Z") but we don't give specifics such as departure times (even if of the form "departing at 3, 23 and 43 minutes past the hour"), journey times or stopping patterns. Some of this may be permissible in an article about the line or the train operating company, but does not belong in an article about one specific station.
 * As you mention, it would be a nightmare to keep up to date - there are over 2,500 stations, and two timetable updates per year. The railway companies have a legal obligation to provide up-to-date information; we do not, and it would be misleading for us to include information that may well be inaccurate within six months. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:34, 17 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Thaks for your comments. On this basis I think that the present "Services" paragraph just scrapes through. Exbrum (talk) 22:49, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Template removed
You ask "why was the template removed?" The short answer is because the URL in the template was marked "url-status=dead". The long answer is that I found the new location of the document and made several attempts to edit the template so that the URL went directly to the document. After failing miserably (the previous template seemed more complicated than the comparatively straightforward one you have now inserted) I decided that it was preferable to fix the URL by a method I am familiar with (namely omitting the template) than to persevere with a "dead" URL. I reasoned that once I had the correct URL on display, and if a template were essential, someone who understood templates better than I would soon spot it and make it good. Which is exactly what has happened. Thank you. Exbrum (talk) 20:03, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
