Talk:Main Line for Europe

One big problem
"Magistrale" is not an English word, and I'd guess that it's very doubtful if it ever will be, so no English-speaker really knows what's meant. Maelli (talk) 10:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

This article makes it sound as if it's called Magistrale for Europe in English, which it clearly isn't. Also, why 'MoE' as the short form? Where does the O come from? --93.218.153.222 (talk) 14:04, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

http://www.magistrale.org/ the website calls it Main Line for Europe in English, but in German it retains the French term, despite it not being a word in German either. The company that writes the material is German. Maybe they changed the name afterwards because they saw that English people didn't get it, or a German wrote this article and thought it made perfect sense in English too. So, you can edit this. I won't do it because I fear breaking the links from other pages that use the old name if I do. --Formagella (talk) 23:43, 20 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I started this and the problem was there was no obvious English translation. Magistrale is clearly a verbose word in both French and German, not a normal word for a railway in either langage. I have moved it to "main line", but "trunk line" is another possibility.--Grahame (talk) 00:22, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
