Talk:List of closed railway stations in the West Midlands

Untitled
Created this list from code generated in Excel, but just realised a lot of the dates are completely wrong. Will check lookup tables and fix this later. Tivedshambo (talk) 09:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Location
Can I suggest adding a column of "modern local authority" or the like to aid with the geography of the article? Again, the vast majority of articles are already contained within "Disused stations within X" categories, and a fair proportion have the "disused station" infobox too.

 * Oops - missed this comment before. Yes, I can add this, though I may need some assistance on precisely locating some near the borders. I also intend to add which company built the stations in the first place. Tivedshambo (talk) 13:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem - just let me know which ones you have trouble with and I'll see if I can help. Fingerpuppet (talk) 19:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Wood Green dates
There appears to be some confusion over the dates of Wood Green, neither of which match the current entry in the list of 1925-1932 (which matches the Wombourn Branch stations). It's detailed on the article's Talk page. Fingerpuppet (talk) 07:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * There's still some errors with the lookup table in my database. Will try to sort this out tonight, and add other stations. Tivedshambo (talk) 07:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

More dates!
Which date do people think we should go by for closure when a station closes to passengers, then closes to goods traffic at a later date? The two I've spotted quickly with inconsistencies in this area are Wolverhampton Low Level (which uses the passenger date of 1972, not the goods date of 1981), and Wednesfield Heath (which uses the goods date of 1965, not the passenger date of 1873). Fingerpuppet (talk) 10:44, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I was going for date closed to passengers. Wednesfield Heath is a mistake on my part - I misread the article. At the moment I've got no citations for this station - any ideas?


 * As for including Wombourn - I realise it's outside the West Midlands, but intended to included it (and Himley) as the rest of the line is within the WM. This would be covered by a note, in the same way that Wythall and Earlswood are included in List of West Midlands railway stations. Any thoughts? Bear with me, this is still very much "work in progress" at present! Tivedshambo (talk) 12:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah, sorry about that! Yes, I'd be very happy with those being included in this list, with the note you mention.


 * As for Wednesfield Heath, I've found this one and this one which list the opening date, and this one which appears to be temporarily down, but gives opening and closing dates. I've added them to the relevant article. Fingerpuppet (talk) 13:40, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It's working again now - I've added it as ref. Tivedshambo (talk) 12:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Monmore Green dates
(copied from Talk:Monmore Green railway station)

The source given on the article gives the closing date of the station as 1916. However, I've been looking at Ordnance Survey One-Inch sheets from the approximate period, and the station appears on the 1921 edition, and is absent from the 1927 edition. Is it a case of the OS not updating their mapping properly, or did the station remain open until the mid-1920s? Fingerpuppet (talk) 21:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
