Brisbane Station changes.
Concerning the changes made firstly to Coorparoo railway station when I first looked at them at night, I noticed that the timetable references pointed the wrong way around and hence I reverted the edit and did the same thing to the other two stations. When I looked at Coorparoo again the next morning I noticed that even in the reverted version the same error was there. It took me a while to sort that out. It was caused by the platform numbers being wrong in the references - Coorparoo is in the unusual situation where platform 1 has a higher number than platform 2. The other two stations had similar problems. Also we just need the basic destinations listed and not every possible combination. That sort of thing as well as explaining platform numbers is considered as WP:NOTGUIDE and should be avoided. I hope this helps.Fleet Lists (talk) 03:30, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. I agree with your reply for the most part. Coorparoo railway station station codes do now show correctly, however, at all three stations the "Services by platform" section is still inverted after your edits. I also agree that not all combinations should be listed, however, I was keeping it consistent with the level of detail of the existing articles. If that is the way you believe it should be approached then references to Doomben should be removed from all stations on the Cleveland line as only two services per weekday continue to Doomben and one originate from which is an significant number. In addition, Manly is the last station before the single track segment to Cleveland and a peak terminus so both platforms would be used. As such, I'd argue that if you don't want to go into details, "Services by platform" should be removed from all stations Manly to Cleveland as unlike stations closer in, the variability means services per platform has little use. If you look at Lota (https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/stops/600269/), the next station after Manly, its platform 1 is only scheduled to receive some of the Cleveland bound trains at peak hour on weekdays with all other services using platform 2. Doing the above would avoid getting into that level of detail on the other stations.

Regarding making a note of platforms with different numbering, I thought it would be relevant based on the coverage of platform 0, however, I respect your experience and decision. Thanks QFA1213 (talk) 04:25, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. There is always room for improvement so that if you can make some improvements, go ahead by all means.Fleet Lists (talk) 04:39, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

I'll go change them when I get a chance. I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track to minimise rework. Thanks again.QFA1213 (talk) 04:42, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
