Hi - a comment with regard to recent additions of tables listing franchises. I do rather feel that these are quite long and make the article a bit cumbersome, with regard to WP:LENGTH. I hesitate to say this, because I can see a lot of work has gone into producing them, and I do appreciate the effort. But to my eyes at least, there's quite a lot of data. Could they possibly be summarised and split into (linked) standalone lists to make the article seem more readable? (as per WP:SPLITLIST) To illustrate: comparative edits before and after Cnbrb ( talk) 14:36, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on
Passenger rail franchising in Great Britain. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

).

Seriously? The ScotRail franchise is held by a TOC called NedRailways? That's worth a laugh! Moonraker12 ( talk) 15:57, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Is this really needed? I think it looks untidy and the information can be found in current/former TOC articles anyway - Coradia175 ( talk) 16:08, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
The current franchises and concessions table should probably now be merged given that franchising is now dead and all TOCs are operating concessions. Garmuyth ( talk) 06:02, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Today Labour announced their plans to bring all passenger services into the public sector when contracts expire (by which they seem to mean after the Core Term Expiry Date). I have added the (potentially very important) CTED to the list of current operators. I have also corrected the final Expiry Date for operators where this was previously incorrect. I am not sure how much additional information should be added, or where.
There should probably be a line to explain the difference between the CTED and the ED (essentially the first and last dates the contract can end without changes to the contract itself). Should there also be information on the relevant part of Labour's reform plans? DK123GWR ( talk) 16:23, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
