NZR Manual of Style
Hi there,

As you are a regular editor of articles relating to New Zealand's railways, I thought I would bring my proposed NZR Manual of Style to your attention. I have created this Manual of Style after recent disputes made it clear to me that a formalised style system is necessary. I have sought to establish fair notability guidelines and to establish stylistic guidelines in line with the most common usage in reliable text sources on the topic. If you have any input, please leave a comment on my talk page. I am particularly interested in comment on the railway stations style section, where I state that New Zealand has railway stations, not train stations. This is likely to cause some issue if it is accepted: while the most major stations in the main centres are at "Railway Station", all other Auckland and Wellington stations with articles are at "Train Station" and some serious work on page moves would be required.

Have a good one! - Axver 10:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

KiwiRail Auckland contract
Hi Cortina80,

Where did the announcement from KiwiRail re Auckland's sub-urban passenger operation come from? I can't find anything anywhere. --LJ Holden 11:07, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Mentioned by KiwiRail CEO Jim Quinn in this article from the NZ Herald on 31 August 2013:

 * Great, thanks for that - could you please add it in as a reference? --LJ Holden 06:32, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
