== [[London Road viaduct]] ==

Hello Das48; many thanks for starting the London Road Viaduct article, which I had been meaning to get round to for a long time.  I will add more over the next few days; I have various book sources to hand (I am also a rail enthusiast, specialising particularly in the LBSCR area, although funnily enough most of my Wikipedia work recently has been on [[Crawley]]-related articles!).  <span style="font-family:Helvetica;">[[User:Hassocks5489|<span style="color:#00BFFF;"><b>Hassocks</b></span>]][[User talk:Hassocks5489|<span style="color:#228B22;">5489<small> (tickets please!)</small></span>]]</span> 18:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

==Merstham Tunnels==
Hi Das48. Thanks for this page, you've done alot of work and I found it very interesting. However I do have a bit of an issue with the way that Quarry tunnel is being called 'Merstham tunnels', both on this page and on the Thameslink map. From a railway point of view it's a totally separate entity from Merstham. I appreciate the historical link which you succinctly put, but I believe it's quite wrong to regard them as a pair - the Railway certainly never has done. I've corrected the name on the Brighton Main Line map, but didn't want to chop up this page without asking as it's your creation. For reference see NR Sectional Appendix, or Quail map #5.

(On another tack entirely, I'm very interested in Bricklayers' Arms, could you add any pics/info to the wiki page?) Thanks, Ivor. [[User:Ivor the driver|Ivor the driver]] ([[User talk:Ivor the driver|talk]]) 11:05, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


:Hi again David, as it stands the page gives a good history of how both tunnels came into being, so I think it's only necessary to point out that they have different names. I'll have a wee tweak. 

:W.r.t to the West London line, I don't sign that road so it's out of my 'comfort zone' but I've seen GBRf & EWS going through E Croydon on en route to North London so it probably is possible to go that way. Looking at the Quail map (#5 again) it suggests that there is a route from the Up Victoria Fast, through the Up Platform Loop (Plat 7) at Clapham Jn, across multiple ladders and onto the Latchmere Reversible. So you're probably right but since Wiki doesn't like me just guessing, we really need a Southern driver to confirm this. Best wishes, Ivor.

== [[SR Merchant Navy class]]  ==

Hello, there.

I've noticed that you've made some excellent improvements to the above article, which has already been promoted to FA, but was evidently in need of further expansion. In light of this, I wish to enquire whether you would like to improve the [[SR West Country and Battle of Britain classes]] article as well, as we now both seem to have the Bradley text on the subject (which is highly detailed and authoritative, as befits someone that gets published by the RCTS, and I only wish I or another editor had it when the article was first being written-up)? Both articles have been left for quite a while, hence a lot still needed to be added. As it is the sister article to the MNs, I naturally though you'd might be interested. 

Regards, --[[User:Bulleid Pacific|Bulleid Pacific]] ([[User talk:Bulleid Pacific|talk]]) 17:47, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

:Ok, been a bit busy recently, having enjoyed a trip behind 'Duchess of Sutherland' to Carlisle, but will check over it as soon as I have the time. Cheers, --[[User:Bulleid Pacific|Bulleid Pacific]] ([[User talk:Bulleid Pacific|talk]]) 08:23, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I've reviewed the WC/BB article, and have made the necessary changes as regards prose (it could still be improved further, but I'll wait until I upload it on here), although I haven't put it on Wikipedia yet. I've added a bit more content here and there, and wish to add more references before I paste it over the current article.--[[User:Bulleid Pacific|Bulleid Pacific]] ([[User talk:Bulleid Pacific|talk]]) 21:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

:The revised article is now posted for perusal, with all additions blended into the prose, and references updated to the new style. I'll be doing a similar thing to the MN article when I have the time. Is there anything else that needs to be added? Regardless, happy reading! --[[User:Bulleid Pacific|Bulleid Pacific]] ([[User talk:Bulleid Pacific|talk]]) 23:00, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

==London Bridge to Deptford viaduct(s!!)==
Hello again David - you do pose some tricky questions! The easy answer is that it is listed in the Railway as a ''series of viaducts'', rather than a single continuous one. According to my Quail Map #5 (sorry to keep nagging but you really ought to treat yourself to a copy), Route XTD (CX-Dover) shares the arches of the former London to Greenwich Railway with LBW (the Brighton Main Line) up to Arch 593 at 3.17 miles (between Spa Rd Jn & Blue Anchor Jn) and Quail gives these as;
*a) St Thomas Street viaduct
*b) ??
*c)Brunswick viaduct
*d)Roper Lane viaduct
*e)Bacons viaduct
*f)Tanner viaduct
*g)Maltby viaduct
*h)Marquis of Wellington viaduct
*i)Perseverance viaduct
*k)Bevingtons viaduct
*l)Enid Street viaduct
*m)Dockley Road viaduct
*n)Lucey Road viaduct
*p)Clement's viaduct
*q)Blue Anchor viaduct
At this point the South London Line arches spilt as its route forks right towards South Bermondsey Jn. On the XTD route I can't then see any names right up until the route divides at North Kent East Jn, where the Greenwich line (NKL) does have viaduct names.

I do agree that this is a significant structure and contains some interesting features, eg Spa Road station. Your knowledge of the history of this is considerably more extensive than mine, but I would guess that this may be one of the oldest metropolitan railways in the world. The Railway has always described the routes by the lines rather than the civil engineering (The Sectional Appendix gives bridge names usually but couldn't supply this info), so perhaps the best way to tackle the project might be to describe how it came to be? 

Having ridden my motorbike round here quite alot when I was researching the routes into Bricklayers' Arms, I can assure you that the place is enormous. Anyway I hope this helps somehow, best wishes, Ivor. [[User:Ivor the driver|Ivor the driver]] ([[User talk:Ivor the driver|talk]]) 11:43, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

== [[SECR K and K1 classes]] Peer Review. ==

Hello again. I think the Bulleid Pacific articles have been improved considerably, so thanks for giving me the 'jolt' I needed to revise them. However, I have a new task, and that is to take the above article to 'Featured Article' status, which means that a variety of editors ackowledge that the article is one of the best examples of collaboration and research present on this encyclopedia. Whilst it has not been submitted for assessment yet, I have put it up for Peer review, and would like to know your opinion on what could be improved. If interested, by all means see the archive at [[Wikipedia:Peer review/SECR K and SR K1 classes/archive1]] for details. Cheers, --[[User:Bulleid Pacific|Bulleid Pacific]] ([[User talk:Bulleid Pacific|talk]]) 15:52, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

:Thank you! Any feedback/input would be of great help, especially if you have the second edition of Bradley's book on the SECR locomotives (I only have the first edition, and I am informed that the second is greatly expanded).

==LBSCR ships==
The magazine published in 1888 would be a much more reliable source than those I've found on the net.

[[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 17:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

:Re ''Carrier'', I'm not sure this was operated by LBSC or LSWR. I think it was a private venture and therefore outside the scope of the section. [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 12:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

::With that info, ''Carrier'' should be added to the table and template. I've got a tatty copy of CHE's book, so I'll work from that and you can work from the other one in expanding the page. [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 17:28, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

:::Re the ships named ''Brighton'', I've corrected the info in the table. Is it possible that there were four ships with that name and that our 2nd Brighton is actually the third? I think that in due course it may be possible to split off the ships, but I don't think that the section dominates the article at the moment.

== Peer review for LB&SCR A1 class ==

I've {{diff|Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Peer review/LB&SCR A1 class|next|367298720|amended}} the section headings that you added to that peer review, because the level 2 headings that you added were screwing the TOC at [[WP:TWP/PR]]: 
:3 Requests on WikiProject Trains
::3.1 LB&SCR A1 class
:4 Intro
:5 Other comments
:6 History
::6.1 Eurostar
::6.2 Mid-Norfolk Railway
that is, your new headings appeared to be more important than section 3.1 "LB&SCR A1 class", whereas later sections were showing as sub-headings of section 6 "History". My amendments now cause the TOC to show as
:3 Requests on WikiProject Trains
::3.1 LB&SCR A1 class
:::3.1.1 Comments from Das48
::::3.1.1.1 Intro
::::3.1.1.2 Other comments

== Reading Southern railway station ==

Re your edits {{diff|Reading Southern railway station|374479706|369421377|1}}, {{diff|Reading Southern railway station|374485745|374479706|2}}, {{diff|Reading Southern railway station|374509021|374485745|3}} - I used the text "Since 1903 the Southern Railway and its constituents had pursued a policy of electrification" to avoid giving a lengthy explanation of when each constituent had decided to electrify, when work actually began, and when the first electric service had run. A check of the page numbers in Moody should demonstrate that all three main constituents had electrification schemes, and for these each had got Parliamentary powers (LBSCR, SECR) or a Board of Trade Order (LSWR) in the ''same'' year, 1903; the LSWR didn't begin first, and certainly didn't have a monopoly, which are the often-given impressions that I wanted to avoid.

Durnsford Road was the location of the power station, yes, but it was ''also'' the official name of the main depot which since the early 1970s (after the closure of Reading Southern railway station) has been known as Wimbledon (TOPS code WM initially, WD later on); it had (and still has) heavy maintenance facilities. Strawberry Hill was mainly a stabling facility, although compared to the sidings at Reading, it was on a much larger scale, being the second-largest on the Western Section suburban area; but it was not provided with facilities for heavy maintenance. Further, according to Waterer, in 1955 the overnight stabling of the 2-BIL units (the type used on the Reading line at that time) included 32 at Wimbledon Park/Durnsford Road, but ''none'' at Strawberry Hill (whose overnight allocation was 17x 4-SUB and 4x 4-EPB). The reason that there was a {{tlx|citation needed}} on "Maintenance of the electric trains was carried out at Durnsford Road (Wimbledon)" was because although it is a verifiable fact that W. Sect. suburban and semi-fast stock was maintained there, we need something that says so ''specifically relating to the Reading line'', if we are not to be accused of [[WP:SYN]]. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#d30000; background:#ffeeee">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 15:38, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for fixing my mistake in adding this image. Sorry about that, Southern isn't reallly my topic.

Could you please expand further on just where this image was taken, and how you recognised it? The image description at Commons probably needs fixing too. Is "Battersea running shed" a clearly recognisable name, or was it by recognising the hoist? Do we have an article for the [[Stewart's lane]] depot? Would it be appropriate to add the image to [[Longhedge Railway Works (Battersea)]], or does this image relate to the LBSCR Battersea depot described there as having been demolished in 1923?  

Do we need a disambig page making between these two / three depots? We already have [[Stewarts Lane TMD]] too.

== Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference ==

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse ([[Help_talk:Minor_edit#Should_we_remove_the_Preference_setting_to_.22Mark_all_edits_minor_by_default.22_.3F|consensus discussion]]). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was <code>true</code>. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to <code>false</code> in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way. 

For established users such as yourself there is '''[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_78#Preference_to_mark_all_edits_minor_by_default_asked_to_be_removed_in_bugzilla:24313|a workaround available]]''' involving custom JavaScript.

==Selhurst Depot - challenge==
Hi David, I've just noticed that you started this section within the Selhurst station page and I've been considering splitting it out onto its own page. I've added some current usage information, but it's really the history side which would provide most of the meat. After the wonderful job you did on 'The Brick' I thought of you as the number one guy for the job. Does your knowledge/interest base cover this one ? If you do take up the challenge I'd be curious to know the origin of the middle roads (sidings) known as AC - Was the Southern on AC traction at any time (I own a postcard of South Bermondsey station in 1928 showing overhead catenary which causes me to wonder - or have I got my wires crossed (arf arf) ? Best wishes, John [[User:Fu Manchuchu|Fu Manchuchu]] ([[User talk:Fu Manchuchu|talk]]) 10:22, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
:{{tps}} Yes, the Southern inherited a 6,700 V AC 25 Hz overhead system (known as the Elevated Electric) from the [[London, Brighton and South Coast Railway|LBSCR]] which commenced service on 1 December 1909. It was in the process of expansion at the Grouping; but although the Southern allowed work in progress to be completed (overhead electrification stopped in April 1925 when it reached Coulsdon and Sutton), it was all converted to the 600 V DC third-rail system of the former [[London and South Western Railway|LSWR]] between June 1928 and September 1929.

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Das48|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give [[:2-(2-2)-0]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "[[cut and paste]] move", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is needed for attribution and various other purposes.  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page.

== G&SWR 6 Class ==

Hi, I was just wondering why you were referring to 141 class in the lead section of this article. Was that a mistake or is there some obscure internal numbering scheme at G&SWR? Regards, [[User:De728631|De728631]] ([[User talk:De728631|talk]]) 12:11, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks for noticing - it was a mistake derived from using the 141 article as a template. I will correct it.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:List of Taiwanese Pacific locomotives]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:List of Taiwanese Pacific locomotives]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''No citations that are needed for it to be on wikipedia'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of Taiwanese Pacific locomotives|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:The furret lover|The furret lover]] ([[User talk:The furret lover|talk]]) 22:33, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
