Talk:Wollstonecraft railway station

Sharp Curves
Someone wrote:

Unconfirmed sources report that Wollstonecraft station owes its existence to the fact that the chairman of the private company that constructed the North Shore line lived there, and insisted on having the line diverted through the suburb solely for his personal convenience.

The reason for the sharp curves throught Wollstonecraft station is to increase the distance and reduce the steep gradient from say 1 in 40 if the line were straight to 1 in 50 with the sharp curves. The gradient eases to 1 in 100 through Waverton and Wollstonecraft stations.

Government line.
The North Shore line including the extension to Old Milsons Point was always a government line, and was never a private line. Private landholders may have had an influence in where the stations were built.

disabled = No
I can not see any reason why the No should be deleted. In fact I feel strongly that it should be present so that the infobox clearly shows that the station is NOT wheelchair accessible. Since the Station Infobox changes recently I have updated about 50 stations so far to show disabled instead of the previous ADA where showing No was a problem as any date present including No was treated as Yes. Of those updates where the station is not wheelchair accessible, I have included disabled =No. I will continue to do so for any further updates I do.Fleet Lists (talk) 04:06, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Infobox fields should reflect what a station does have, not what it doesn't. If we applied the same methodology, to other fields (parking, bicycles, toliets etc) we end up with a list of of Nos or N/As like at Pinera railway station that add no value and elongate the infobox unnecessarily. This is probably partly why these custom built infoboxes are being eliminated. Also need to factor in that we are not trying to create a guide by which a passenger may plan their journey, it's more sundry FYI type of information. I thought the wheelchair symbol appearing was better than yet another Yes, given that it is recognised the world over, but obviously that was what was decided. Mo7838 (talk) 05:09, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
