Reworking this article
The article is lacking in crucial information about the line and since the Pakenham line is currently getting a good article nomination i figured it would be best to start reworking on it NotOrrio (talk) 13:44, 23 December 2022 (UTC)


 * @NotOrrio, I'll work on updating the infoboxs & route maps (metro service & actual line), stopping patterns, and station histories (similar to what I have started doing with the Williamstown line). -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 14:57, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not happy with how the stations table is shown... Southern Cross (although soon to be removed from this line, it will still be on others) spans 25 rows due to the Train Connections column. This is not easily readable on a pc screen, and totally impossible on a mobile. Changes I'd propose:
 * Both train and other connections will also be shown on both the service and line route maps (still under construction)
 * Accessibility and terrain, although important, are probably better suited to remaining on individual station pages
 * Services and stopping patterns can be moved to a seperate table to better show Local, Ltd Express or Express services
 * -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 02:59, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * thanks for pointing this out one solution for this could possible using a table similar to the one seen on the article for the Glen Waverley railway line i have removed the accessiblity and terrain for now, the table was mostly a remodified version of the one seen at Pakenham_railway_line and I didn't plan on it for being the permanant version. NotOrrio (talk) 03:56, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Some line don't have anything (eg Craigieburn railway line), others have just services (eg Belgrave railway line). My proposal would be use both (as I have started for User:ThylacineHunter/Lines/Metro). -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 06:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ive made a couple of changes to the stations table
 * I had split of the stopping patterns on to a seperate table
 * I re did the connections section to be more compact and user friendly
 * NotOrrio (talk) 11:30, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @NotOrrio, As I have said earlier, I have been working on an update for both stopping patterns and station histories tables (you can see my progress at User:ThylacineHunter/Lines/Metro). I've been a little delayed due to Christmas and the time needed to look up correct info (eg opening dates - some on Wiki are wrong). I'm also rechecking the stopping patterns to the soon to be current (starting 6th Jan 2023) timetable (ignoring all the current holiday timetables that change daily). -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 13:37, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Still need to update the station history table. This require a new template that I'm still working on (this will both fill in open & closing dates and calculate age of item without the need to write each date twice, and also swap age units from days to months to years). -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 05:34, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Station Histories table is now done. --- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 02:51, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Rebuilding the article
As promised in this discussion, I will now begin to rebuild the Cranbourne railway line article. I can still spot numerous issues, especially pertaining to spelling, grammar, and referencing, amongst others. I will remove the article from the list of GA nominations and begin work shortly. Once this work has been completed I'll renominate the article for GA status. During this time, preferably do not edit the article, instead you can make suggestions in the talk section of the page.

 * i'd suggest moving the last paragraph to the 3rd paragraph spot in the lead section to align with the order of the sections
 * Also for accessiblity you might want to take a look at https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2010L00668 NotOrrio (talk) 06:28, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Will do tomorrow. I've rebuilt the entire article except for the history sections, the lead, infobox, and references areas. Thank you also for the suggestion about DDA compliance—I've gone ahead and added it. If you have any more suggestions, leave them in this section. HoHo3143 (talk) 11:09, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I have now finished rebuilding the article and have subsequently nominated it. I've placed the nomination at the top of the talk page as per nomination instructions. HoHo3143 (talk) 06:37, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Cranbourne railway line → Cranbourne line – WP:COMMONNAME swap with redirect ThylacineHunter  (talk) 07:59, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: redirects are ineligible to be current titles in move requests, and there is no need to list the redirect, Cranbourne line, to be swapped. A title swap will happen automatically if the Cranbourne railway line article is moved as proposed.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 19:44, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Cranbourne line service, article is (or at least should) primarily be about a railway service, not a railway line. The railway lines on which the service operates are the City Loop, Gippsland railway line and the South Gippsland railway line. Suggest alternative name to be clear that article is about a service. Bagufleat (talk) 03:52, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Cranbourne line, oppose Cranbourne line service as per WP:COMMONNAME. Cranbourne line is the common name, as shown by     . Is "Cranbourne line service" a name that is used anywhere? Steelkamp (talk) 04:30, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
