I think that including the Settle-Carlisle Railway and the map is not right. This line (rightly) has its own map and article, and is not a part of the Airedale Line. I intend to remove it from the map, and replace it with a link. Canterberry 23:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
All the sources I can find on the internet suggest that the name "Airedale Line" applies only to the routes between Leeds, Bradford and Skipton. Where is the evidence the name is also used to Morecambe (or, even worse, Carlisle which already has a name: the Settle-Carlisle Line)? -- Dr Greg ( talk) 17:05, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Further research seems to confirm this. I think the confusion is caused by some maps and timetables for the Airedale Line also showing through services to Morecambe and Carlisle. The name I am seeing is "Leeds to Morecambe Line".
I think there are two options: either rename this article the "Leeds to Morecambe Line" and have within it a section called the "Airedale Line", or else have two separate articles with these two names. Either way, I think the Settle-Carlisle section should be cut out (except for a brief summary) with a link to its own article. I note there is also a Morecambe Branch Line article which could be merged with "Leeds to Morecambe Line". The history of (most of) the line is already covered by the "little" North Western Railway article. There is some overlap between all of the articles mentioned above which could do with some tidying up.
(By the way, the reason I brought this up is because I noticed one editor is adding "Airedale Line" route information to all the stations along the Settle-Carlisle line.) -- Dr Greg ( talk) 16:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
I managed to find some time earlier than I thought! The new article now exists and I have cut-and-pasted material bewteen the 3 articles, Airedale Line, Leeds to Morecambe Line and Settle-Carlisle Line. Some of the material isn't that well written and could do with improvement. -- Dr Greg ( talk) 17:29, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

@ Dicklyon: Without wishing to resurrect the protracted discussion about naming conventions - why have the sections of this page titled Airedale Line been decapped? In the discussion about the changes it was stated by Dicklyon ( Talk:Chester-Manchester line) that pages like East Coast Main Line etc would keep their caps because it is a proper noun in the context as opposed to Manchester-Chester line. The term line has been de-capped throughout the article, but the page has not been moved from Airedale Line to Airedale line. Therefore, all instances of the term Airedale Line should remain with caps throughout, surely?
I have no argument about de-capping the word line in various articles, but some (Wharfedale Line, Airedale Line, East Coast Main Line etc) should remain with caps. Otherwise, why has the page not been moved? The joy of all things ( talk) 09:45, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
In this content, the word 'line' is a noun, because it is part of the name/title. Therefore the title of this article should be Airedale Line. ( Rillington ( talk) 19:03, 17 December 2016 (UTC))
