Talk:Deal railway station

Accidents
Why does this article need a section on accidents whose only connection with this station is incidental?

First, the Lewisham rail crash: apparently at least one person was from Deal. Four problems here: (i) why is this information of note; (ii) it's sourced to O.S. Nock's Historic Railway Disasters - I have Nock's book, and Lewisham 1957 is on p.164 - but Nock does not state where any of the victims came from, least of all anyone from Deal; (iii) if they were from Deal, presumably they lived in a house and not in the station, so if notable, it should be mentiond at Deal, Kent and not at Deal railway station; (iv) where were the other 80+ people from, and why are they not mentioned on the articles for their home towns too?

Second, the Sevenoaks railway accident - this also is in Nock (p.107), he states that the train was "the 5pm from Cannon Street to Folkestone", he also states that it was to run via Ashford, but does not mention either Minster or Deal. So again, why is this relevant to an article on Deal railway station? -- Red rose64 (talk) 12:21, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I fully agree, and have removed the section. Convention is that it is for accidents and incidents occurring at or neat the station that the article covers. Mjroots (talk) 09:40, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
