Just looking over the history draft, I reckon we could/should cut down the future section by quite the amount, as half the talking points are redundant. For example, Battery_train_trials and Extending the network via battery/electrification make eachother redundant, as it is repeating the exact same thing, Perhaps we could split the future section like this to try and stop the redundancy/repetition of the exact same points.
Future - Past Proposals (Older proposals that have no obvious work done to them, for example, tram-trains)
- Expansions
- Additions to the current network (ie, Maghull North before it was built, not stations that expand the distance of the network, but just fill in the network)
- Expansions to the network (ie: headbolt lane, wigan, preston, etc)
Obviously these can be changed to see fit, but I really don't think the current format is completely necessary as it is heavily redundant. Its also all over the place imo, which again, this format could help fix. If agreed that this how it should go, or if you just want a draft of this version, I can work on writing one up. --- ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ฎ ( Talk) โข ๐๐ฝ๐๐/๐๐ฝ๐๐ 00:56, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Currently spending a bit of time copy-editing a majority of the history, and came across a few continuity issues, that someone with more knowledge, is probably better off trying to fix.
Firstly, we start the Creation of Merseyrail (1960s - 1977) section by talking about how Liverpool Exchange railway station and Liverpool Central High Level railway station closed. Yet we talk about how they are to be used in the 1969 proposal by the Merseyside Passenger Transport Authority "At that time, the lines out of Liverpool Exchange, Liverpool Central Low Level, Liverpool Central High Level and Liverpool Lime Street stations were separate. The existing electric and diesel hauled lines identified to become the new Merseyrail lines, the first stage of Merseyrail's creation, were named the 'Northern Line' (from Exchange and Central High Level), 'Wirral Line' (from Central Low Level) and 'City Line' (from Lime Street station) respectively."
Also, we just randomly include the fact that " Riverside Terminal Station at the Pier Head closed in 1971 due to the demise of the transatlantic liner trade." in the middle of explaining the Beeching Axe and talking about the implications of it, thats something I've tried to fix, but think it still needs some look into. --- ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ฎ ( Talk) โข ๐๐ฝ๐๐/๐๐ฝ๐๐ 17:12, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
