List of NSW TrainLink railway stations is still quite a mess honestly.
1. Following the consistency of List of Transwa railway stations, I think that Sydney Trains stations shared with NSW TrainLink should also be included in this list. I would simply just include all stations mentioned on the official Transport for NSW intercity trains network map [1], however objections in the past by other editors were that there were just simply too many stations to add.
1 continued. I disagree with this decision, however, there is some truth to this as the stations on Sydney's North Shore Line between Hornsby and Central via Gordon are only served by intercity trains occasionally, yet are still on the intercity map. Services on the Central Coast & Newcastle Line usually use the route via Strathfield/Epping. In addition, I do agree that there are a lot of stations to be added on the Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line as well (with very confusing stopping patterns as well to add), but I think that we should just add them all without question.
2. Would anyone object to the removal of station codes from the table? Fork99 ( talk) 00:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi all,
I've noticed some Vicsig links being marked for replacement recently. I thought it was worth mentioning that the site usually (not always) provides its sources for each entry in the location pages these days, so that can probably be substituted? For example, the Vicsig page for Yarraman station references Victorian Railways Weekly Notice No.50 of 1976; the weekly notice contents are generally available either in various magazines/journals which can be found online (e.g. Newsrail behind a paywall, Somersault perpetually up to two or three years prior) or Weekly Notice Extracts 1894 - 1994, 1996, Alan N. Jungwirth, Keith W. Lambert, Weekly Notice Productions, ISBN 0646300105. The main value in linking to Vicsig directly is that each location has a timeline of known events (and some pages have track diagrams for various eras), so providing a link under "External Links" or "Further Reading" might be worth considering. Otherwise, maybe someone could develop a citation template like the one we already have for Newsrail, that works for the Extracts book, and one for Somersault? That's well outside my skill set.

I've just updated the adjacent stations module and the "Services by platforms" sections for all of the Pakenham line stations. Hopefully I haven't missed any instances of Pakenham needing to be changed to East Pakenham!
Could someone with more knowledge of the railmap templates please update Template:Pakenham Metro Service? Fork99 ( talk) 23:53, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
