I'm unclear as how to deal with the lines beyond Ashford as the services / lines conflict here has me quiet confused. as far as I'm aware the Maidstone east services start and commence from Ashford, but i could be wrong so I've set it up like that. Ashford itself really does need a look at as i can't get my head around it. Pickle 04:42, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
I am apologising most profusely, but this article is lacking of citations, so I am having to add a header to say this. Please do not be taking of any offence. It is purely a reminder. Sheepcot 22:19, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
In railway circles this route used to be called "BTR2" or "Boat Train Route 2". Post-1993, it was re-termed as "CTR2" of Channel Tunnel Route 2". Quite what it will get re-termed once the CTRL finally has its own dedicated route is anyones guess. Personally, I think that "Maidstone East Line" is nice and simple ... and "does what it says on the tin"! Canterberry 20:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the 'mapneeded=yes' from the tag, as we have maps. Canterberry 20:53, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 05:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Ashford via Maidstone East Line → Maidstone East Line — I believed this is a more concise and simpler name for this line — Canterberry 21:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

This piece of line is called The Maidstone line. This is how it is shown in the DEFINITIVE RAILWAY PUBLICATION concerning railway infrastructure - the Sectional Appendix. This tome is not always available to people as it's a controlled document but the Quail maps are derived from it, so if you're not sure what a line is called then they're probably the best place to look. Bizarrely though, someone had actually put Quail in the reference list on the page whilst allowing the line to remain mis-named, which is contradictory.
In respect of the above discussion - Surely if you think something is confusing you should state the facts as they are and then use the text within the article to explain the issue? You don't have the right to just pretend the problem doesn't exist by making up a 'fantasy' name for the line. That really is creating confusion !
I have put inline references into the page to justify its correct name, and I'm going to move it to the Maidstone Line - Fu Manchuchu ( talk) 12:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved. It also sounds from the consensus below as if the Swanley to Sevenoaks section (which I use myself quite often, being a keen North Downs hiker) should get its own article at Darent Valley line and that section removed from this article. — Amakuru ( talk) 18:05, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Maidstone line → Kent Downs line – According to this source and this one, the line has been called this since mid-2020. This seems to be endorsed by OpenStreetMap, which also names the line according to that.
