Ivanhoe Line[edit]

As part of the general update to the article, I have removed the "Ivanhoe Line" diagram template. There are two reasons for this:

This is a station article, so a line template isn't really appropriate;
There are no passenger services on that line at present, so its inclusion is speculative anyway.

I have posted it on the talk page so it is not lost. --RFBailey 01:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Burton-on-Trent[edit]

I propose the renaming of the article to Burton-on-Trent railway station for the following reasons:

The station has been known as Burton-on-Trent since the early 1900's.
Calling the station Burton upon Trent on wikipedia adds inaccuracy.
There are no plans to rename the station to the 'correct' name for the town.
UK railway station articles do not correspond to their towns full name but to what the station has been named by railway authorities. Examples include Oxenholme Lake District.

Burton-on-Trent Station - dirty, ugly, smelly and an appalling advert for any self-respecting town[edit]

Does anyone have any free source images for this page of the Victorian station that preceded the grubby dirt-hole that we have to put up with now? Betjamen loved it. Captain McVitie (talk) 19:46, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There have been a couple added recently. I can't believe they knocked that magnificent building down to build the station we have now. Swaddon1903 (talk) 12:43, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, they didn't just do it at Burton. Consider London Euston and many others --Redrose64 (talk) 14:38, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
