Rainham railway station (London) → Rainham (Essex) railway station – This station is referred to as Rainham (Essex) by Network Rail, the service operator and ATOC. It also ensures consistency with Rainham (Kent): This is a more WP:COMMONNAME for the station than the wiki-creation of "Rainham railway station (London)".

 * Oppose The station is called "Rainham" - see the platform sign. "(London)" is just a disambiguation tag at the end to identify the location. "(Essex)" is inaccurate even if Network Rail haven't looked at a map in fifty years. Timrollpickering (talk) 08:51, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't like it because I know better is not a valid argument. Verifiability is what counts, regardless of personal opinion. Lamberhurst (talk) 17:32, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Support. Where the common name for a railway station in Great Britain is ambiguous with another railway station in Great Britain we use the official name of the station, e.g. Whitchurch (Shropshire) railway station, Newport (Essex) railway station, etc. Thryduulf (talk) 11:01, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
