On 20 December 2017, it was proposed that this article be moved from Mansfield railway station to Mansfield railway station (England). The result of the discussion was moved. |
Actually, is the name of this station Mansfield or Mansfield Town? Simply south 22:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
The article makes the claim:
Although passenger usage figures remain 'healthy,' Mansfield is one of the few stations in the United Kingdom not to have experienced a large growth in usage since 2004 (see figures right).
It is true that the number of passengers has failed to grow inline with national trends, however whether or not the passenger numbers are healthy is a moot point. For instance Mansfield has a population of 99,000 and its railway station usage of 0.349 million; where as the similar sized town of Halifax (82,000) has a railway station with usage of 1.911 million. Even much smaller towns have railway stations with far greater use, for instance Dorking (population 11,000; annual station usage 1.2 million), Ilkley (population 14,000; annual station usage 1.2 million). If nobody has any objections I'll alter the statement. Mtaylor848 ( talk) 19:42, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
The section entitled Future doesn't contain any information relevant to its title. Perhaps Operations would be a better name? 83.104.249.240 ( talk) 15:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
I doubt that this sign is Midland Railway. It's enamel, and the typeface is Gill Sans. Both of these point to British Railways in the 1949-65 period. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 22:25, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
I rescued the second paragraph of this from being nothing more than non-sequitur, but if anyone can fill the section out with details that would be a good thing! Harfarhs ( talk) 23:48, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. After 17 days and one relisting (long enough for two relistings) this is a supported page rename. Happy New Year to All! ( closed by page mover) Paine Ellsworth put'r there 18:25, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
Mansfield railway station → Mansfield railway station (England) – Does not receive notably more page views than the other ambiguous stations, [1] especially as it's at the base name "Mansfield railway station". It also has no more long-term historical significance (the Massachusetts station has been around longer, and the Australian station wasn't built long after), and it gets less use than the Massachusetts station. Disambiguation is per the guidelines at WP:UKSTATION following the RfC. Cúchullain t/ c 22:22, 20 December 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. bd2412 T 01:50, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
