Changed class to stub. The article has been inadequately researched: Red Star was created and owned by British Rail, but none of this was in the article. Pyrotec 20:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Explanation needed
What is the relevance of City Link? Did it have any connection with Red Star or was it one of the causes of Red Star's demise? Biscuittin (talk) 12:52, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- At this stage, I'm not sure whether there was any connection. The demise was a political decision. Pyrotec (talk) 19:07, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- There is information about the "political decisions" to dispose of Red Start in: Gourvish, Terry (2002). British Rail: 1974-97: From Integration to Privatisation. Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-926909-2; and Gourvish has a number of references that can be followed up. I should be able to add some more information, but it is likely to be November onwards, rather than October.

Has Red Star been re-invented?
Doing a Google search, I found numerous Red Star parcels depots listed in business directories. Are these directories years out of date or has Red Star been re-invented? Biscuittin (talk) 19:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- A search at Webcheck [1] indicates that Red Star Parcels Ltd still exists (company number 03095533). Biscuittin (talk) 08:28, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

No, those are Royal Mail, as you can see from the Royal Mail brading. DrHydeous (talk) 14:18, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
