Talk:Sleaford

Railways - Sleaford avoiding line and the GNGE modernisation
The transport section is light on these at present. Particularly as there has recently been (a major stage completes on the 9th) substantial modernisation work. The Sleaford avoiding line re-opened in September 2014. Sleaford railway station's description of the signalboxes' survival is outdated now too. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:17, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Andy, I think this kind of information is better placed in the GNGE article and the Sleaford railway station article. I agree that there are issues with the station's article, and I intend to work on it in the future. I am not an expert though - if you do have any information that can be included (and reliably sourced), it would be best to add it. Thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 11:22, 5 March 2015 (UTC).
 * It certainly belongs in the more specific railway articles.
 * However I think the idea of a town that is both squarely on the route of a major main line, yet so unimportant to it that they built an "avoiding line" for it (railways don't tend to build many bypasses!) has significance for the town and that article.
 * Also the scale of the recent GNGE investment should have some positive influence on the town. I'm assuming (I live somewhere similar in South Wales) that there's a lot of commuter traffic from this as a dormitory area.
 * Sadly I can't help much about the details as I just don't know much. I simply make things like this: http://www.sleafordstandard.co.uk/news/business/business-news/video-minister-for-transport-reopens-sleaford-s-upgraded-avoiding-line-1-6295055, the headboards used for the re-opening trains.

Sections blatantly copied from source
Some of the paragraphs seem copied whole from the source, especially for example the 5th paragraph. Aren't copying and pasting in that way forbidden in wikipedia? There are some flags at the start of some articles that ask for revisions to such things but I cannot find one so I'm putting this here. CollyCarrot (talk) 23:37, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
