American or British forms
This page was originally written with American conventions. As the subject has no particular ties to the United Kingdom, there was nothing wrong with this choice. Given the Wikipedia policy to retain the variant of the original author in the absence of compelling justification, shouldn't that trump? I've explained the policy to User:Johnnie390 on his talk page, but have received no response as he continues to edit-war. Jkatzen (talk) 14:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It is true that Johnnie390 does have a point. Chris DHDR ￹  17:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Which point is that? That "it's a European country so use European English"?  By syllogism, would you advocate that the French Wikipedia, when talking about Washington, D.C., should use Quebecois French, under the logic that, "It's a North American city so use North American English?"  The UK is no more culturally tied to France than Canada is to the U.S.  Jkatzen (talk) 21:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually yes, I would expect articles about say Mexico or Brazil to use US English - that proximity does lead to stronger ties. Conversely many more Britons visit and live in France. Finally - I'd have thought the fact that you can take trains to London from this station would count as a "strong link" for this specific article. JMO, anyway.

3rd Opinion
I think British forms are more appropriate, considering the subject matter. And the policy on variety retention clearly states "national ties" as a major contributing factor to allowing the varieties to be changed. Internationally, British English is typically used in educational and encylopedic formats. While I wish it were the other way, logically I can't support that argument.Invisibl e Di plo mat 666 19:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Where is British English typically used in "educational and encyclopedic formats"? Brittanica vs. Encarta?  Harvard vs. Oxford? Pages on Wikipedia covering international subjects not tied to an English-speaking nation have never followed such a policy.  Does the fact that you're "secretly a monarchist" (see your User page) have anything to do with it, ha ha? (joking) Jkatzen (talk) 21:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

TGV Air?
The red link to TGV Air is odd. Google finds me no records of a service under that name. Corsair and Air France do have something similar (under the name Train + Air), but it appears to apply only to Paris Orly airport (the airline runs a shuttle bus to the Massy-TGV station). I don't speak French fluently enough to research this further. TRiG (talk) 21:31, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
