Culdee Fell Railway

Folks, this article is about the Snowdon Mountain Railway. The fictional Culdee Fell Mountain Railway is covered in its own article which is linked from here. Please keep information about the Culdee Fell railway in its article. Thanks, Gw e rnol 14:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can Ninian, Yeti, Peris, George and the Diesel railcars have their own fictional CFR counterparts? Felix 15:54, 27 July 2006

Felix, do you believe that posting essentially the same question over and over in different places will magically change the answer? You know the answer to this is "no" because I've told you seven or eight times. Please stop posting this question all over Wikipedia. Thanks, Gwernol 21:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remove reference to closure

The reference to the closure should be removed WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_informatio as this is not a travel guide "TheNose | Talk" 18:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of the term British Isles

Quote from offical website "Snowdon Mountain Railway is the only public rack and pinion railway in the British Isles. " CarterBar (talk) 18:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Highlights the whole messy way that people use the term. The home page states UK, which is what I am relying on (and home pages should take precedence). Same with the previous horticultural article too. The use of the term British Isles in this article is not appropriate since we're talking about different national jurisdictions and boundaries for railways, and furthermore is a geo-political usage, and is therefore not appropriate as per consensus for it's use in Wikipedia as a geographic term. --Bardcom (talk) 18:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is this right?

The recent edit by anonimous editor 92.232.136.150 doesn't look right to me. Can someone confirm or deny it? --Roly (talk) 16:03, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Train Control - passing loops

Under Train Control it says "All three passing loop tracks are on the north-west side of the main running line". Shouldn't this be south-west? --Roly (talk) 13:32, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map scale is incorrect

The map shows a scale bar representing 5 km, which would show the railway line to run more than 10 km. The article, however, claims the length to be "7.524 km". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugowolf (talk • contribs) 17:55, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Route Map

Why are the LLR (Llanberis Lake Railway) station and Penllyn featured on the route map? Although mentioned in the text (re. sale of a vehicle) they really doesn't belong on the map. Hogyn Lleol (talk) 17:33, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I'll take them off. Railfan23 (talk) 00:07, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Snowdon Mountain Railway

Snowdon Mountain Railway does not have permission from the supplier Clayton Equipment Company to list the details about the hybrid locos. This information must be removed. -- NorthWalesHermione (talk) 13:36, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles simply report and summarise what other reliable sources have already reported. The information about which you have a concern, appears to be supported by robust sources from the Railway press and elsewhere. If you believe that any of those sources are false or unreliable, then please reply here with the relevant information. Wikipedia articles are neither written by nor controlled by their subjects and neither are they censored at the request of an interested or embarrassed party without very good reason. Regards Velella ^{Velella Talk} 13:45, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Further, if NorthWalesHermione has a direct relationship with either the SMR or Claytons, they should declare a conflict of interest. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 14:10, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly people with a conflict of interest are trying to airbrush history. User:Jessica Salt is probably Clayton employee Jessica Salt who is credited as the author of multiple articles on Calyton's website. SnowdonMR and NorthWalesHermione are obviously connected, if not the same person, being single purpose accounts and making the same deletions. The edits from IP 62.232.155.110 were probably also the same person. Newgrynd (talk) 01:27, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
