Talk:South Yorkshire Joint Railway

The most joint railway - I don't think so
'As one of only two railways in England with 5 partners the South Yorkshire Joint Railway was the most "joint" of joint railways.' - the East London Railway beat them by having six partners: Great Eastern; London, Brighton & South Coast; London, Chatham & Dover; Metropolitan; Metropolitan District; South Eastern. Some people record that as five, believing that the London, Chatham & Dover Railway and the South Eastern Railway amalgamated in 1899; however, this was not the case - it was a "working agreement". Whilst many functions of the LC&DR and SER were merged in 1899 (such as the locomotive, carriage and wagon departments), the two companies continued to exist right down to Grouping, and all lines continued to be owned by one or the other of these two; even newly-built lines were assigned to one or the other. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:11, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Maltby railway station


The article Maltby railway station has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jeepday (talk) 11:43, 24 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Someone had better clarify this. The Maltby station reference is valid. Several serious references support this; I have checked Quick, latest version, page 270, for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afterbrunel (talk • contribs) 16:33, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The notification is from nearly nine years ago. If you check [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maltby_railway_station&action=history the page history] from that time, you will see that a valid WP:DEPROD occurred at which time  added two references. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 18:14, 25 September 2019 (UTC)


 * No doubt, but I was concerned that someone less knowledgable than some, would read the alert and not be aware that it had been settled. Afterbrunel (talk) 18:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
