Meaning of "panel"[edit]

If this article is intended for the benefit of people who don't already know the answers, we have to provide helpful information to them. So "The new panel signal box at North Road was commissioned in 1960" ... what is a "panel"? If we don't tell thenm that, then we have failed. Afterbrunel (talk) 17:48, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Explain, explain, explain[edit]

The more I read of this, the more I am appalled. Why was Plymouth a significant railway centre? The article doesn't bother to tell us.

"Haulage in Plymouth was always by horses" ... oh really? I despair. Afterbrunel (talk) 17:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It gets worse[edit]

"Plymouth railway station is an important station on the Exeter to Plymouth line."

Why? Afterbrunel (talk) 17:54, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re-assessment[edit]

I have re-assessed this article as C-Class, because there are a few too many citations missing. It is very close to B-Class. Note that B-Class does not require every sentence to be verified, but there are a few sections or paragraphs of this article that have no citations.
