  • Orbost railway lineGippsland railway line – I request that 'Orbost railway line' be moved to 'Gippsland railway line' since the former term is archaic, given the fact that Orbost station is no longer operational. Since V/Line and PTV themselves use the term 'Gippsland line' to jointly refer to the Traralgon and Bairnsdale lines[1][2], it would make sense that Wikipedia reflects this terminology in order to clearly convey such information.— Preceding unsigned comment added by LeoC12 (talkcontribs) 05:58, 2 March 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. SITH (talk) 13:09, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References

  • Move to Bairnsdale railway line. With only a few exceptions like South Gippsland railway line, the articles about Victorian railway lines are in the format "TERMINUS railway line". Breaking that convention is simply confusing. The V/Line rail services are a different matter. If anything should be moved to the Gippsland name, it should be Traralgon V/Line rail service.

  • Support. This rail line used to run to Orbost. It now runs to Bairnsdale with a coach line to Orbost. "Orbost" is now the historical name for the railway line. As per V/Line Stations & Stops "Gippsland" is the current name for the truncated line. Danielklein (talk) 13:57, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
