One editor (I assume it is the same person) keeps rounding the percentage ownership in the infobox and the body of the article. If the ownership percentages are cited as exact numbers then I assert that they should be reported in the same way here.

94.119.7 If you wish to round per
WP:INFOBOXREF, that's fine, but do not remove the citation without good reason. Rounding percentages is not a good enough reason to remove a reliable source.

The 3 x 2 cars 150 sets are scheduled to move to Northern before the franchise commences to be replaced by 6 x 1 car 153s from GWR. This was originally scheduled for June and may be delayed again, but in the meantime I think it best to omit the 150s until such time things become clearer.

Seeing how West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway are two distinct brands and operate differently shouldn't they both have separate pages that is more heavily informed to the brands take on things.
Similar to Govia Thameslink Railway which is the operating company like West Midlands Trains and then they have individual sub brands which are very distinctive like; Thameslink, Great Northern, Southern and Gatwick Express.
West Midlands Trains is complete unheard entity compared to it's more distinct sub brands like London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway. With the latter having more importance with the slow amalgamation into the Transport for West Midlands vision for a similar transport system like that of Transport for London. Currently this page doesn't reflect any of that and feels to be copied straight from the old London Midland franchise. I feel it would be more relevant to do this than the current. — Preceding unsigned comment added by William77 ( talk • contribs) 16:10, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
Instead of having the complicated and hard to follow set of details about the various train splits at Birmingham New Street, surely there must be a better way to present the information. Would it not just be easier to present it as say 1tph from London to Crewe and Rugeley Trent Valley via Birmingham New Street, and then underneath explain that the train splits at Birmingham with one portion going to Rugeley Trent Valley a and the other going to Crewe and then detailing the stops in separate paragraphs? That would be more straightforward than the current complex table arrangement. G-13114 ( talk) 08:49, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
template:LNW colour has a dark charcoal grey colour (004c45) that is indistinguishable to my eye from the Avanti colour ( template:AWC colour, 123524). LMW trains are painted light grey and charcoal. Is there support for / objection to our LNW colour being changed to light grey? -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 15:02, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Sorry to be writing after half a year, but grey is not the greatest colour to be used especially as the logo does not contain grey. Could this be changed back?
The previous colour was dark green, not charcoal grey, and the version before that was a little lighter by the way. Here's the colours for comparison.

I don't really think people would think of LNW when they see the colour grey?
I checked the colours and it turns out they were actually incorrect. Here are the current and the actual colours of current TOCs using dark colours taken from Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Railways/Colours list, for the purpose of correctly assesing clashes. (actual colour codes determined by using this tool on logos on their twitter profile / header photos or websites).
LNW | AWC | CS | FGW | GrandCentral | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
current | Oct 2017 | Dec 2017 | ||||
actual | lighter | dark |
All except FGW (will) clash with the dark green, and its even more difficult to tell apart from Avanti when corrected. The lighter green, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be clashing with any of the current TOCs, at least as far as the colours list goes. (The now defunct
Central Trains uses a similar colour by way of {{Temporary rail colour|00bb00}}
, but that shouldn't matter much.) --

Yes, I do agree there needs to be more clarity in the links for which trains serve which lines. For example, Xo Spain oX why do you insist on using the links you used for Walsall to Wolverhampton and related routes when we clearly have an article for the Walsall–Wolverhampton line? In other words, for each service listed for each unit on the network, what's the main rail line each route covers, and can we link that line instead of multiple links for one route?
