Name

Howdy! Just done a bit of work on this page and thought I would explain a few things (don't know if this is the place since I am a complete duffer at this sort of thing). I have no idea where the term "Super Outer Circle" has come from. It certainly wasn't used at the time and my published sources including Railway Magazine (1950s) and London Railway Record (late '90s) do not mention it when talking about the Dudding Hill line. So pretty sure it's a spontaneous generation (ie made up by whoever created the page). But hey! keep it if you like. Super Circle would be better though as it is satisfyingly sibilant. I have erased the final line where it talks of not being referred to at the time. It's quite clearly differentiated on the District Railway map of London of 1879 and comes under the same category as the other circles and is there known as 'the Midland Route'. The other thing is the reference to the North London Railway - the route used part of the North and South Western Junction Railway, which is not the same thing as the North London at all, although it now forms part of the North London Line (or whatever modern wordhash it is calling itself these days). 86.152.248.218 (talk) 23:03, 11 December 2010 (UTC) KAZ[reply]

The two sources now cited (Horne and Bruce) both refer to the service as an 'outer' outer circle. Edgepedia (talk) 22:10, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

I've rewritten the article based on two references I've found. Peacock is ref'd in the lead, but does not mention this line. I've managed 165 words, not long enough for an article. Two short paragraphs, one that duplicates the information given in another, does not give enough information for an article. Any other sources? Edgepedia (talk) 22:10, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
