Discussion

 * Any additional comments:

I'm a bit 'meh' about this either way to be honest. When I first wrote the article I was only really bothered about how the collapse happened and what they did afterwards. Since then it's grown a bit so it's a bit more about the controversy over the Tesco store. One thing would be that if the title is changed, things like the section headings would also need changing otherwise it might look a bit odd. Quantpole (talk) 16:48, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That can easily be fixed. --RFBailey (talk) 05:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep - I wasn't meaning it was a problem to the proposed move. Like you say above I'd be happy for it just to be got on with. No point in a WP:RM unless it's likely to be controversial. Quantpole (talk) 09:05, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed---only now we're stuck waiting for the 7-day period to expire before doing anything..... --RFBailey (talk) 03:57, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I'll be bold and end early, seeing as nobody's likely to object. Simply south...... 20:36, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

HSE report
Just to let people know, but the HSE report still hasn't been released. I have found some info from a FOI request which seems to indicate that tje investigation is ongoing. The HSE also seem to have employed David Nethercott (head of civil engineering at Imperial) to be their consultant on the matter. Quantpole (talk) 12:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)


 * For info: The HSE report has been released due to a successful FOI Act request. A copy can be found here. Mjroots (talk) 18:21, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Cost and compensation
How much did the incident cost Chiltern Railways and Network Rail? How much compensation did Tesco pay and was it offered willingly or was there a legal battle? 83.104.249.240 (talk) 15:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
