 * , this is well written, so I've gotten through it faster than I expected. I want do to another quick skim over it, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to pass this later on today. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * No obvious MoS issues. Well written.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):
 * Has a refs section. No copyvio issues. Source spot check done (see below), all fine.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Suitably focused. Major aspects all covered.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Neutral.
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Stable.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Images are appropriate with captions. No alt parameters, but not needed for GA.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

Optional minor grammar issues

 * Should "single track" be hypenated when referring to a section in the lede?
 * Yes, per Single-track railway and by "single-track" used in the parent Marshlink line, already a GA


 * "by footbridge" to "by a footbridge"?
 * I think this would make more sense. "By footbridge" specifies a mode of transport cf. "by level crossing" but "by a" scans better


 * "it was estimated a" to "it was estimated that a"
 * Agreed


 * "criticised as it has created" to "criticised as having created"
 * I've rewritten this sentence, using this sort of grammar usually invites a second look.


 * Commas don't seem right in The ground floor is constructed of Flemish bond brown brick, the first floor is made of timber with weatherboard cladding and it has a slate roof.?
 * Copy edited


 * Should re-appeared be hyphenated?
 * No. As this was a recent edit of mine (dealing with events less than a year ago), I have a feeling the auto-correction in macOS Safari got in the way (as it has an annoying tendency to do).

 * I've addressed all of the suggestions here, they are all worth doing. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Other comments
I thought about suggesting a collapsed map or two like Template:Marshlink Line RDT and/or the signal box being listed as a separate entity in an infobox, but absolutely not essential. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Spot checks of sources
1. fine 3. fine 16. fine enough 18. fine 22. fine 26. fine 30. fine

I don't have any of the 4 books, so taking on good faith those refs are fine. I did check the books exist. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
