Failed "good article" nomination
This article has failed its Good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 20, 2020, compares against the six good article criteria:


 * 1. Well written?: Many passages use non-conventional English or more juvenile forms that aren't appropriate for the expected audience. In the first body paragraph alone, there's phrases like "An East-West railway connection “East-West tube railway” for the city" (redundancies), "to allow people reach their workplaces on time" (goes without saying), " He also mentioned a north-south line back then". The rest has issues with grammar and general flow. The sections are also problematic, as there are long lists of stations in each line's subsection (which are unnecessary), redundant tables with no accompanying prose, and far too much information on fares (with more tables).
 * 2. Verifiable?: Many unsourced paragraphs and improperly formatted citations that are missing publisher information, author information, or dates.
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: The history section is a bit short compared to the rest of the article.
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Not seeing any issues, but the other problems overshadowed this.
 * 5. Stable?: Symbol support vote.svg Pass
 * 6. Images?: Few and far between. A better logo is needed and a better map could be made.

This article is a long ways from meeting GA standards and would need some serious dedication to get up to that point.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.—  Sounder Bruce  07:15, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
