The result of the move request was: Moved to "Railway porter". There was a clear consensus to move the page away from the former title and I've determined "railway porter" is the best option per WP:NOGOODOPTIONS. I realize WP:RETAIN has been raised as an issue, but I would note the article (except for the title) already uses British spellings and that the usage of railway tends to be more widespread than railroad.

MOS:COMMONALITY and is just as commonly understood and appropriate. --

Rather than just closing this as no consensus, we should try and find consensus for a specific term. The following names have been proposed:
Personally I think any of the first three would be acceptable. Pinging @ Necrothesp: @ Zxcvbnm: @ Crouch, Swale: @ Rreagan007: @ 65.92.246.142: Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:28, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
