Murder
Its hardly sensitive to put the murder of a little girl under trivia, can anyone think of a better title, I can't at the moment think of what to put it but if someone can can you change it please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.200.220.2 ( talk) 16:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Tube?
Not sure if this is the correct name for the article, as it isn't a "tube" station, it is a "cut and cover" station. The official designation is surely "Barbican Underground station"? BRIANTIST (talk) 12:39, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry about the slow reply but I think that train has left ... there are a lot of C&C stations being referred to as tube, and the word "tube" has gained very general currency for the whole system, irrespective of tunnel depth. I know it irritates purists, but to change it all over Wikipedia would involve a massive crusade and require the support of the relevant project(s), which I sincerely doubt would happen. Sorry!

Murder 2
Does the murder, sad though it is, need to be listed? I just wonder how it meets notability; if we listed every murder in London in its venue I fear that the encyclopaedia would overbalance! Now that the article is bigger and has more content, should we consider removing this bit? What do you think? Best wishes DBaK ( talk) 11:44, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed, always thought it odd that this particular murder is described. --

- Thank you. I have removed it, but will be happy to discuss it if people strongly feel that it should be in. Best wishes DBaK ( talk) 10:20, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Accident
"On 16 December 1866 three passengers were killed ... when a girder collapsed onto a passenger train in the station. ... Four people died during the accident, and a fifth (a workman involved in the accident) died while awaiting trial." So how many people were killed? -- TBM10 ( talk) 20:48, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
