I note that lucy-marie is now using the reason "not many other maps have distance on them" for removing the distances. This is very wrong. The templates have distance field in them. The fact that not many maps have distance information on them is more to do with the fact that they are still under development. Canterberry 16:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Simplest thing is not to include distance as it firstly clutters the template, secondly causes conflicts like this over which system to use and thirdly creates a lot of unnecessary work.-- Lucy-marie 17:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
:::You sir need to watch what you say as some of what you could be saying may be interpreted as threatening such "i shall use the 3RR against you" it is not you domain to threaten people because they say something you don't like. you should try and be constructive and can you provide you supporters for you position as well. I have to support Lucy here, as the metric system is officially used and should be primarily used here or distances should not be used at all.--

Shouldn't the Newhaven branch also be on the map, it's more a part of the East Coastway line than the Keymer Jn to Lewis line (that's part of the London to Eastbourne line). ( SouthernElectric 18:01, 23 September 2007 (UTC))
As far as I'm aware the London Eastboune servicies (via Lewis) has never been known as a East Coastway service, the name "Coastway" was coined to discribe the two routes that ran along the coast, not the London south coast services. Can anyone point to a citation that backs up the current version of the article please? I get the feeling that this is another example of confusion between "Southern"(TOC), "The Southern Railway" and "BR(s)" as written the article is simple wrong IMO and for now I'm going to change the opening sentence from
"East Coastway is the name given by Southern Railway to the services operated from..."
to
"East Coastway is the name given by Southern (TOC) to the services it operates from..."
( SouthernElectric 16:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC))
My comments were not regarding to the map but the rather (IMO) garbled opening text to the article, is there any evidence to suggest that the London to Eastbourne service or line (apart from that part east of Lewis, which is but a very small part) being described as part of the coastway line thus backing up the following existing text;
"East Coastway is the name given by Southern (TOC) to the services it operates from London Victoria along the south coast of Sussex and Kent to the east of Brighton, UK. Those to the West of Brighton from Victoria are named the West Coastway Line. The trains running under this name serve Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings and Ashford. Southern Railway was formerly South Central Trains."
Surely it would be better if it read something like the following;
East Coastway is the name given by Southern ( TOC) to the routes it operates along the south coast of Sussex and Kent to the east of Brighton, UK. Those to the West of Brighton are named the West Coastway Line. The trains running under the East Coastway name serve Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings and Ashford.

Can someone proof read the following (comment here); East_Coastway_Line rewrite Please. ( SouthernElectric 23:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC))
Can someone with the route distance references please check the template, looks like they might be still in Km rather than Miles and Chains (per consensus) or at least have an incorrectly header. Thanks. ( SouthernElectric 00:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC))
Stone Cross halt should appear before Stone Cross Junction (going West) rather than after. I can provide photographic evidence if need be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.189.224.201 ( talk) 21:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Not sure I like the new version, surely the Jnc. with the BML should be left off (as it was), there is no real info supplied but plenty of confusion possible, ideally there just needs to be a 'LUECKE' type icon for the ABrg icon - IOW just allow the line to dissolve, allowing those who want/need to know about Keymer Jnc to go to the BML page. I think it's gone from to little/wrong info to to much. Sorry!( SouthernElectric 22:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC))

All station names are wiki linked even if no article exists, allows the page to be created easily (without having to alter the route map), in any case there are many examples of wiki links that have no article. (

Hello. I have checked the OS map for Eastbourne and the surrounding area. The current site of Polegate station is to the west of the junction of the East Coastway Line and the Cuckoo Line and I have altered the map accordingly. The station was however previously located to the east of this junction to allow Cuckoo Line trains to call. See also Polegate and Polegate railway station articles. Should the route map also show the previous location of the station at this point or is the current map OK? Thanks Mertbiol 09:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[reset indent] OK, having looked into the history of the junction more, the map needs modifying anyway as the direction of the Hailsham junc. changed at some time between 1875 and 1910, it should be possible to indicate the original, second and current stations.
