The result was   Delete Discretionary early closure based upon what seems to be the obvious outcome. Masses of unsourced content, potential copyright violation, potential WP:COI concerns, fails to demonstrate why this National Rail department is notable, and is written in a completely inappropriate style. Content duplicates part of National Rail Enquiries which itself needs serious reworking or simply merging into National Rail. Adambro (talk) 17:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

This article is written exactly like how I would expect the "about us" link on an official website to be written. It contains no references, no incoming links, and was written in one go by.

If any of the material here deserves to be on Wikipedia it should be condensed to a paragraph at National Rail or National Rail Enquiries (the latter article is not in a much better state than this, needs much trimming, rewriting and citing to make encyclopaedic, although the topic is inclusion-worthy.) - I'm just not certain there is enough that is encyclopaedic that can be said in this article.

 * Delete this article and fundamentally re-write the duplicate entry in National Rail Enquiries. There is encyclopaedic content here, but there's a lot of work to do yet. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:23, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
