There is a bridge connected to Putney Bridge Station that has always been called Putney Railway Bridge in the local area, but someone put up a plaque after the bridge was repaired, calling the bridge Fulham Railway Bridge. The article for the bridge is currently calledFulham Railway Bridge and says that the architect called it "Putney Railway Bridge" but that it was never officially named, which seems kind of weird to me. Can anyone with access to historical material on London and South Western Railway, the Metropolitan District Railway Line or British Rail please search their sources for anything that can clarify the name of the bridge.Big Mac (talk)13:14, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
An editor has unilaterally decided to change "England" to "United Kingdom" in the location field of the infoboxes of various bus articles, such asAEC Regent III,AEC Regent II etcetera. I was under the impression that the relevant country was the preference.Murgatroyd49 (talk)19:08, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Bus articles and bus article people like your serial wikifiddler generally leave me cold. However, I do think you are right on the preference, but also I think "England" matters given the very different ways that buses are funded/managed/regulated across the four countries of the UK.10mmsocket (talk)19:29, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello there, thank you answered here. Well, about this topic I wanna clarify these edits:
Firstly (to avoid misunderstanding), the England name isn't removed, but the United Kingdom name is placed since it's the formal name for the country (just like Soviet Union, per example, is listed on location field o the Soviet automobiles, like this one:VAZ-2101; instead RSFSR or UkSSR, which are country members, just like ENG/SCOT/WAL/NI are for UK). So, in almost every British vehicle articles (cars, buses or motorcycles), editors list: "United Kingdom: (name of the city), England" (some remove the England name but placing is better since UK have four member countries, I agree), like onMini Hatch,Jaguar F-Type orRange Rover (L460) articles (which are examples of most-visited articles about British cars here where UK is listed).
Also, there's not a official rule on Wikipedia who unallows the use of the United Kingdom name on listing (seeMOS:GEO - often linked on reverting messages - andWP:BR, who doesn't have a formal rule of either use only UK or England. Both can be used.
Also aWikipedia:Teahouse discussion about this subject is open for participation.
This is a bit of a funny place to raise an issue regarding infoboxes on articles about buses; I thinkWikipedia:WikiProject Transport would be a better place than a WikiProject specifically about England, so as to avoid accusations of forum shopping. I don't have a strong opinion either way, except that I think infoboxes should be kept as concise and as clear as possible. Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:52, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
SoshingekiGoji is now making reverts likethis one; the edit summary statesThere's non-English readers here, who mostly doesn't know where Southall is located. This field is exactly for this purpouse (country/state + city), a curious idea, since anybody who does not know whereSouthall is merely has to follow the link. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk)20:04, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Update the template and make a request for the others atWikipedia:Link rot/URL change requests (WP:URLREQ). If it has been archived then the bot can update the links to point to the archived copy. If it hasn't then I think the bot can mark them as a permanent dead link and we'll have to find the information elsewhere. There is a way to get a list of which pages use a source but I can't remember what it is.Thryduulf (talk)20:39, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a site I used frequently, but it strikes me that it's actually user-generated content - albeit quite well done - and as such shouldn't be used as a reference. Its use as a reference should also be called into question where it is being used to indicate the status of a project given that it hasn't been updated now for over two years.10mmsocket (talk)07:15, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My basic view of Always Touch Out is that it was good for its time, providing news on London transport that was hard to get hold of elsewhere. However, nowadays the official Transport for London channels, for example, are providing all the information that ATO did, and the usual corpus of books such as Day / Reed and Wolmar can generally pick up the slack from earlier than about 2010. In short, I would mark the source as deprecated and work towards replacing it.Ritchie333(talk)(cont)09:20, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Proposed Merger of Infobox London station with Infobox station
I happened uponLondon underground emergency response unit. It needs some work but it has potential, either standalone or merged into the main TfL article. It certainly needs renaming as sources seem to indicate it's a TfL-wide not just Underground resource, and the article title's case is wrong. Anyone care to have a crack at it? Thanks.10mmsocket (talk)21:53, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
