This article contains no new information, as it hasn't been edited since February. All the information in it has already been merged into the appropriate pages at South West Trains and Island Line, Isle of Wight. The page cannot be redirected becuase it concerns both the pages mentioned. (This page has been nominated for deletion before under another name, see Articles for deletion/South Western) --Jorvik 10:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirect to South West Trains. While the franchise does cover both SWT and Island Line, South West Trains is clearly the most important of the two, so a redirect to that article makes sense.  --RFBailey 11:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: A page being out-of-date isn't a reason for deletion in itself--why not update it, or at least correct the tenses? --RFBailey 11:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Transportation-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 13:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to SWT as with the recent re-franchising this is how we have handled the similar West Midlands franchise article and the new London Midland TOC. In this case the incumbent TOC has continued using the same brand, with the Island line continuing as a sub brand (AFAIK) (and the article on the island line still deals with the physical line and historical TOC).
