Would anyone able to fix the layout of the route map and its captions? I think it's so messy but I don't know how to fix it well. Thanks! Spring Dennis 15:40, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
References, references, references. From what I can see, there is only one reference, and some websites, none of which are specified of where you got the information. I think you may have References and External Links confused. All fair-use images should have fair use rationales also.

I've just removed a poorly created section titled "station numbers". There was absolutely no context to tell what the numbers meant. Are they the number of stations on the line or descriptive numbers for each station or what? The removed content is in the page history. Slambo (Speak) 13:32, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Looks like he wants to state the number of station on each line, as he did on the MTR article.-- Kylohk 20:15, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Is there any particular reason why all the titles for KCR stations (and for that matter, MTR stations) are not called "~ Station"? Bourquie 6:01, 29 May 2006
I think my question was misunderstood. I apologize for not making my point more clear.
What I wanted to ask is: Why is the word "Station" in "Mong Kok Station (KCR)" omitted in the article? This goes for all MTR and KCR East Rail/West Rail/Ma On Shan Rail/Light Rail Stations. Bourquie 12:48 30 May 2007
I personally don't know how to begin a survey. If you can start it for me, it'll greatly appreciated. Bourquie 6:17, 31 May 2007
When will the conversion from ~~車站 to ~~站 be finished on East Rail stations? Iianq 23:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
I've started a discussion on the MTR-KCR merge at WPHK (so we can have one consolidated discussion about it instead of having the same discussion across the few relevant articles). [1]. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 16:18, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I think this article and the other related articles needs to be realigned, like this:

I understand that dealing with name change/merger and history is not simple in the case of this article. Still, I think it looks strange to see references to feeder buses introduced in 2011 within an article named "Kowloon-Canton Railway", an entity which strictly speaking does not exit since several years.

The current arrangement of info on this topic - across this article,
KCRC and
Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train - lamentably fails to do justice to the venerable Kowloon-Canton Railway, opened in 1910 (British Section) and 1911 (Chinese Section) and the engineering marvel of its time. Instead we have a modern-centric, corporate-tilted snapshot that leaves this glorious history buried under the corporate ghost of KCRC and the GZ connection.
For sure, the modern KCR 'network' (let alone the company that the government created to manage it) is not the same thing as its unilinear forebear. But it is the latter that should take precedence, and carry the name Kowloon-Canton Railway. (It was hyphenated in those days, and often still. We might consider a space, but never that clumsy en-dash.)
I see that there was previously an article 'Kowloon-Canton Railway (1910-1949)', which is a possible solution. I'm ready to discuss this, as it has been raised before, and changes made. But the current mess needs fixing.
