I think the connections should be shown on the route diagram - firstly a lot of these diagrams show connections and continuations, and secondly it shows (in this case) that a direct service from the branch towards Kidderminster is not possible. It would be possible to explain this in prose, but the map makes it instantly obvious. – Tivedshambo (talk) 22:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
The track layout looks a little like a very tall, thin teapot or coffee pot. This is not a criticism, but it is a useful simile since the 'spout' (between Brook Road and Junction Road) is not labelled on the map. Where does that line go?
Secondly, which section of track is only available for empty stock movements? It would be helpful if this section were denoted using the light red line colouring, or else the 'in tunnel' format.

An editor has put a wikilink to Stourbridge Basin is there any likelihood of an article being created? -- Stewart (talk) 18:11, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Keep the pointwork in. Removing suggests that this branch is completely isolated from the National Rail network - and is more relevant than showing overbridges.-- 86.148.185.195 ( talk) 19:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Remove the pointwork. Not even remotely relevant enough to include in an overview map. Bridges are questionable, but station pointwork is definitely out. Check any other route map we have. 90.203.45.168 ( talk) 18:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Remove the pointwork. The current layout suggests there are two stations at Stourbridge Junction, and there aren't. This isn't like the Looe Valley Line where the branch train starts from what amounts to a separate station at Liskeard. Surely it's a route diagram not a track plan.

Remove everything apart from the stations. No bridges, disused lines or links to other routes
OR
Keep as is.
Anything else is a halfway house between historic / putting the line in context; and a pure route diagram. --

...Remains at 4tph all day Monday-Saturday (apart from between 9-10pm Monday-Friday). No increase to 5tph occurs, nor would it be possible. Worley-d ( talk) 03:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I think that there is a citation of sorts in the National Rail Timetable ( http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browse%20documents/eNRT/Dec09/Complete%20Timetable%20December%202009.pdf - but careful, it's a massive download). At page four it says:
"Train journey-lengths vary from the under-three-quarters-of-a-mile Stourbridge Town – Stourbridge Junction shuttle to the 703 mile Penzance–Dundee service."
Not sure if that counts or not.

Is this branch line shorter than Paris Métro Line 3bis, or the branch line between Roma San Pietro and Vatican City, which are also 1.3 km long each? — 2604:2000:F9E1:E200:E16D:58CD:8DE4:EF3F ( talk) 14:21, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
