Talk:Gateway Plus

Need new updates
this article is completly out of date and full of rubbish. Plus its very hard to read and follow. It needs to be re written —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.47.92.74 (talk) 15:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * If you could expand on how it is out of date, then that would be helpful to the article. Also, it what way is it full of rubbish? I understand that the new designs have been released today and this will lead to the 'Design' section getting rewritten appropriately. Although, this may be difficult seeing as there is still very little information available as of yet to do with the new design. - Erebus555 (talk) 19:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I had to laugh when I read: "obstacles on the platforms will be removed to make them larger." What obstacles? The pillars holding up the concourse above? Yes, the article is full of rubbish, and needs starting over.

 * A quote from a sentence does not provide justification for the complete rewrite of an entire article. The quote may indicate that some work on the section or article is needed, but you will have to show far more if you are trying to prove that this article is in urgent need of attention. - Erebus555 (talk) 18:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, it's 2016 now, and the development is complete, but this article is still in the future tense. What was the final cost? How did the completed development differ from the plans? What happened to the residents displayed from the tower? Where were costs cut? 2A02:C7D:150D:DE00:3DE6:8721:D544:2CA0 (talk) 22:39, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Passenger capacity vs platform capacity
When we talk about "capacity", I think we need to distinguish between passenger capacity and train capacity. As I understand it, the plan is to spend £500million and generate space for not one single extra train in the station. The scheme is solely to improve passenger facilities. DWaterson 13:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes this scheme is to improve passenger facilities and the station's ability to withstand increasing numbers of passengers yet not increasing numbers of trains. - Erebus555 13:49, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, it's actually a disaster for the train users. Once the money is spent and all the glitzy shops are built there is no way the government is going to spend more money actually adding track capacity is there? They'll just say, "Birmingham, you've had your investment for this decade" and spend elsewhere (if at all!)...if people could get onto and off trains faster then they would spend less time in the station, and then the "passenger facilities" would be less important! It's madness to deal with symptoms rather than the cause, which is a lack of approach tracks. 86.148.116.213 (talk) 12:33, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Progress
Bit of information: I see that the outline planning application is before Brum CC's planning committee this week (30 November 2006). You can read the report at. DWaterson 20:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Rename?
Apparently the scheme for which funding has been recently announced is called Gateway Plus. Time for a page move? DWaterson (talk) 14:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have noticed this too. I am going to contact Birmingham City Council and Advantage West Midlands just to make sure it has been renamed. At the moment, I think it will need to be moved. I suspect this new name is to coincide with the redesign of the current plans. According to Midlands Today (Feb 12, 2008), the new architect will be announced next week although I am yet to find a source that says that same. - Erebus555 (talk) 15:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * And after a very swift reply from Birmingham City Council, it seems the project is now called Gateway Plus! I'll get on with moving the article and changing the wikilinks in articles. - Erebus555 (talk) 15:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:


 * http://www.designbuild-network.com/projects/birmingham-new-st/
 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 11:05, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
