Talk:Golf Street railway station

Station ? This is a glorified bus shelter on the trackside. As a name, Golf Street Halt is far more appropriate. -- Derek Ross | Talk 05:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

More passengers than a closed station?
I've removed "Interestingly, the closed station at Watford West attracts more passengers" since it was uncited, and seems impossible to me. I think it could be reincluded with a citation if it is indeed true. Hertzsprung 19:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It is perfectly possible, but only when "number of tickets sold for this station" is confused with "number of passengers using it". These statistics really only show the number of tickets sold for a station (sometimes not even that - station groups can create all kinds of problems - see for instance Dorking West where it's near impossible to actually get a ticket that will be allocated to it).


 * The closure of Watford West (and indeed the whole Croxley Green line) was done in stages so the services were withdrawn and the line severed without the formal closure process (it may now have been formally closed). As a result it remained in the system and fares for it were on the database - I guess the tickets sold for it are either machines that haven't caught up or people who don't know recent developments in the area well asking for Watford West specifically.

Historic railways
I have removed the Dundee and Arbroath historic railways details, as the station did not exist in the Dundee and Arbroath days (or indeed before the creation of British Railways). Dunarc (talk) 21:06, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
