Talk:Mid-Kent line

Name of the Article
The article, whose title is "Mid-Kent Railway", starts with "Mid-Kent line" in bold and says that was constructed by "The Mid Kent Railway". It's its use of '-' that is inconsistent.--SilasW (talk) 19:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Which is the article meant to be about?
Although called "Mid-Kent Railway" and (see above) mentioning "The Mid Kent Railway" the article seems more about some tracks which apparently should not be called the "Mid-Kent Line" rather than about a railway company. Some retitling and a new article might be appropriate.--SilasW (talk) 19:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The correct name for the route according to both Quail maps and the definitive railway publication (the Network Rail Sectional Appendix) is the Mid Kent Line, and I propose renaming the page as such. Fu Manchuchu (talk) 21:31, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Hayes Line
From what I can see, the Hayes Line is the modern name of the Mid-Kent Line. -mattbuck (Talk) 11:45, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree, I don't understand why the Hayes line has two pages. I think that the page needs to merged into the Hayes Line page. -Darianthomson (Talk) 01:11, 18 March 2014 (BST)
 * Mid Kent Line is still the correct name as used by the Railway itself for the physical lines (See NR Sectional Appendix Southern Zone Pages 115-118). We've ended up with two pages because the Train Operating Companies sometimes call their service 'Hayes Line' to keep it easy for the passengers - as in "it's the line that goes to Hayes". If you're going to combine the two pages, PLEASE differentiate the service Hayes Line from the route Mid Kent Line. This page is exactly right at the moment as it correctly describes the physical features of the Mid Kent ROUTE. Thankyou.  Dr Sludge (talk) 19:27, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Mid Kent and Hayes lines are the same thing, and so they should be merged, and I would say with a redirect, which I think is standard practice anyway. I am not sure what name it should be under, though I have only heard it called the Hayes Line, and would call it that myself. Wetter88 (talk) 07:43, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd personally go with Mid-Kent per Dr Sludge, and seriously I thought I actioned this three years ago. -mattbuck (Talk) 14:41, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
