I removed the schedule data because they were out of date. If this information is included, it will require review and updating two or three times a year. If anyone is willing to commit to that proposition and tend this article to coordinate with the latest Amtrak schedules then by all means update the schedules and reinclude it. But until them I've put the schedule info within "nowiki" tags. --Ltvine 05:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vancouver station (Washington) → Vancouver station – Unambiguous. The intercity rail stations in Vancouver, British Columbia (Pacific Central Station and Waterfront station (Vancouver)) are not known as "Vancouver station", and never have been. The current disambiguation page is unnecessary and should be deleted. 162 etc. (talk) 01:13, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move. Although neither station in BC uses the name "Vancouver station", it's unlikely that someone searching for the name would be looking for the station south of the border. O.N.R. ^(talk) 22:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Old Naval Rooftops. Both of the two BC stations have ~5 times the pageviews of the WA station, making it likely that many readers would be confused. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Old Naval Rooftops. As someone unfamiliar with transport in the area, I would expect Vancouver station to be the article about the principal railway station in Vancouver. I would not be WP:SURPRISED to arrive at a disambiguation page telling me that there isn't a single principal station in that city, I would be to land on the article about a station in a different country that just happens to share a name.

Oppose per ONR. Clearly ambiguous. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:43, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Even as someone familiar with transportation in the area, I have trouble remembering the names of stations in Vancouver, BC. Cases like this are perfect for disambiguation pages. RickyCourtney (talk) 15:12, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per ONR and for why London station (Ontario) is titled that way even though no station in the most visited London is called London station (see also London station group.)JuniperChill (talk) 16:55, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
