General

 * Check captions for fragments, e.g. the infobox image caption needs no full stop.
 * Should be all fixed Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:03, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Not quite, infobox caption needs no full stop. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * "Location of King's Cross in Central London" there appears to be different uses of either "Central" or "central" in the term "C/central London". I'd pick one and stick with it.
 * Since our article is called Central London, and uses caps throughout I'll go with that. I think this is just residual paranoia from Requests for mediation/The Beatles Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:03, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Is there a reason why "King's Cross St. Pancras tube station" has a full stop in the title whereas all other references to St Pancras have no full stops?
 * Our articles seem to use a mix. However, I think the definitive source would be Transport for London] which uses the full stop. So I'm going with that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:03, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Lead

 * "the Flying Scotsman and" shouldn't that be "the Flying Scotsman and"?
 * Query: you have "as Mallard", why wouldn't it be "as the Mallard"?
 * Mallard is the name of a specific locomotive; unlike ships, these conventionally do not take the definite article unless it actually appears on the locomotive's nameplate (such as LNER class A1 no. 2559 The Tetrarch). Named services are sometimes given the definite article, sometimes not - it primarily depends upon the whims of the railway's publicity department, cf. Flying Scotsman and The Coronation). -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 08:32, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Or, in the more prosaic case, our articles on Flying Scotsman (train) and LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard have "the" and no "the" respectively. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:04, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, then I think that's done slightly differently on the Marylebone article. Better keep an eye out on that one.  Or at least the italics are...  The Rambling Man (talk) 15:18, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * " Services are currently" last thing I recall about this kind of stuff is we stick with as of...
 * Done, also I think the word "services" is mentioned too often in the lead, so I've reworded that while I'm there <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  09:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * "is King's Cross St. Pancras on the London Underground, " I get this, but it's potentially confusing, perhaps it's something like emphasising that "King's Cross St. Pancras" is a tube station on the LU?
 * I've changed it to "King's Cross St. Pancras tube station"; the general convention is to use which leaves the "tube station" bit out, but that's more for articles about tube lines that link to stations all over the place. I don't think that's correct in this context. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk)  <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  09:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Underground fire is pertinent to the Underground station, less-so the railway station, did improvements take place there as a direct result?
 * Not directly, but the mainline station entrance was a key picture in the news (eg: File:KingsXfire.jpg), and I think people particularly outside London might associate King's Cross with the fire above all else. Still, I could be wrong. After discussion below, I've removed this. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  09:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Could be worth linking fever and smallpox, perhaps not all our readers get the real meaning of fever here, nor may have been troubled by smallpox.
 * I don't have the source used here, but a quick search for others suggests that the hospital was mainly known for smallpox, plus "fever" is a generic term (what sort of fever?) We have a Smallpox Hospital article, but it's a specific one that's irrelevant here. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  09:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * "Midland Railway services ran from King's Cross on 1 February 1858.[22]" to where? And I suppose you mean " Midland Railway services commenced from King's Cross..." because it wasn't just on one day, right?
 * The source doesn't say where. This is important to get right because MR services diverted to St Pancras about ten years later, and their "heyday" to the northwest dates from that period. From context I think Birmingham New Street is correct;, can you check this? <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  10:46, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Birmingham New Street is unlikely (remember that although the MR did serve Birmingham New Street from 1854, its route to Birmingham was from Derby via Tamworth, which creates a circuitous route from London). MR services from Kings Cross ran over the GNR to Hitchin, where they picked up the Midland's own route thence to Bedford, although the services on this line probably didn't terminate at Bedford until after the route opened between Bedford and St Pancras via Luton and St Albans. As for where the northern terminus actually was... there are several possibilities. It's easier to decide which cities were served directly from Kings Cross via Bedford in those days: Leicester is a 100% certainty, Derby and Nottingham 99% certain, Sheffield and Leeds are highly probable too. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 15:06, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, let's go with "Leicester via Hitchin and Bedford", which is what sources tend to agree on. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  15:19, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * "during World War I" archaic Brit speaking, would prefer "during the First World War"
 * I've had this argument before; I personally have got more comfortable with World War I over the years. Indeed, BBC Schools are calling it "World War One". I think it's just the English language changing and old gits bemoaning how things just aren't the same anymore (usually by Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells on pen to the Daily Mail) .

 * "through the Gas Works Tunnels" prior to this, three times it was just "Gas Works tunnel".
 * Originally there was just one tunnel, but a second parallel tunnel was brought into use in 1878 (and then a third in 1892) - the name is shared, so chronologically later mentions are in the plural. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 08:42, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Why link Royston only?
 * Wasn't sure which station to go for for Hertford (though reading the articles it must be North) and I probably linked Welwyn, previewed, found it was a redlink (as it should be Welwyn Garden City railway station) and left it out to come back to later. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  10:46, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * "King's Cross was a major terminus for the InterCity 125 high speed services. By 1982, almost all long-distances trains leaving the station were 125s." do we know when they started?
 * The source doesn't say; the best I can find at the moment is this source that says "between 1976 and 1981".

 * "Accidents and incidents" section, most of these are trivial. Could they not be summarised into prose?
 * I tried that, but then (IMHO) the prose looks as exciting as watching grass grow, so in this case I think a list is more suitable.

Other stations

 * "to Farringdon, Barbican and Moorgate" Barbican here is the Tube station, is that intentional?
 * I think so in this context, because Barbican was historically an overground station as well as underground, but has not served a conventional "overground" service since the Thameslink shuttle to Moorgate closed in 2009. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:12, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * "main line" or "mainline" or "main-line"? Even the hat note at the top of the article should be made consistent.

 * "1 train per hour departing at xx:05 " is this stuff stable enough? Do we really need this level of detail?  Train routes, stations served etc I can buy, but regularity and departure times seems a little too much.
 * I think having the main King's Cross - Waverley service on the hour is significant (though I can't quite pinpoint why), for the rest - meh. However, if I take it out, an IP or a user with a redlinked userpage will put the whole lot back in without an edit summary. (example) For some people, casual editors really like all this detail being in here and occasionally turn up to fiddle with the route tables. I've left it like it is for the sake of keeping the peace, and it is all verifiable to the timetables (though last time I tried actually verifying the information in that manner, I decided watching grass grow was a more pleasurable activity). <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:23, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * I agree, but the next question is - what you would you trim out? There's nothing obvious; you could cut out detail in the Edinburgh and Leeds services, but those are easily the most important ones in the station, so that would make the section even more undue. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  15:02, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Are you sure? My old standby of User:GregU/dashes.js doesn't touch this when I run it. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:42, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The script is flakey, at best, but sometimes it's clever enough to look at the preceding word, which in this case is singular. Perhaps it should be platforms 9–11.  The Rambling Man (talk) 14:57, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Should be sorted now. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  15:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * "a mile to the north of the station." could use a ref.

 * "The Pet Shop Boys released " The isn't part of the name of the band.
 * Well I never .... it appears I've been getting it wrong for over 30 years :-/ .... fixed <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:42, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually doesn't need dismabiguation.
 * So it doesn't. That's me being over-cautious and thinking "actually's a word, of course it's not going to have the album as its primary topic!" <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:42, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Refs 42, 47 and 49 are all "BBC News" but are all formatted differently.

 * "Gourvish, Terry; Anson, Mike (2004). British Rail 1974 – 1997 :" unspaced en-dash here.
 * I think I've fixed this, though dashes make my head hurt :-/ <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:48, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Overall
Nothing major, a minor heap of small issues, so it's on hold. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:41, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Right, I've addressed all the issues, though some need further and clarification and work. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:49, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking good. I still see consistency issues with Tube and tube, although that appears to be a Wikipedia issue more than anything.  I think there are only one or two points outstanding above now, let me know when you think you're done. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, everything has been addressed; I've come up with a solution for Midland Railway services, the "Services" section has had another trim, and I think all the other stuff is uncontroversial. If I've missed anything, shout! <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  15:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Well we both missed the fact that Monopoly should have been in italics, which is somewhat ironic given the project you're trying to complete, but I've fixed that, and I'm happy to pass now. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:24, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Just the "mainline" / "main line" thing mentioned above, but I can't see that being a showstopper for GA; somebody can just do it. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  15:32, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
