I've tried my best to locate this station, but I can't! I've got an address from the bath fm website, apparently their office is located in the station. The address is Bath FM Station House Ashley Avenue Lower Weston Bath BA1 3DS However this doesn't actually appear to be *on* the railway. All information I can find puts it close to here, but I can't locate the actual building. guiltyspark 16:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article renaming wrong?

As the actual station name (at closure) was "Weston (Bath)", it seems to me the previous article name "Weston (Bath) railway station" was the correct one. Views? Rwendland (talk) 12:30, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rwendland: although the ticket says "Weston (Bath)", the actual sign on the platform I think just said "Weston" (the image in the article is a "Weston" sign from the signal box, anyway). This seems like it's probably an example of a "National Rail" disambiguator, which the RfC at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains#RfC: UK railway station disambiguation decided not to use any more - the consensus was for option D (disambiguator at the end), not for option B (use national rail disambiguator), unless there was overwhelming evidence that "Weston (Bath)" was in fact the common name for the station in all sources. Note that ordinarily this would be titled either Weston railway station or Weston railway station (England) or Weston railway station (Somerset), but as all those names are ambiguous with Weston-super-Mare railway station and others, we stick with using "Bath". Cuchullain, what do you think? Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 14:13, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Amakuru: Yes, I think (Bath) as the "local community" is the appropriate dab here, as there are ambiguous stations both within the country (England) and the county (Somerset), and this one obviously isn't the primary topic. "Weston (Bath)" may be workable if it's demonstrably a WP:COMMONNAME, but if not, the standard, post-phrase disambiguation is the better bet.--Cúchullain ^t/c 01:32, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
