Someone is spamming the {{ London Underground patronage by line}} onto multiple articles. I personally don't think it has any value whatsoever since it's counting one-stop short-hops equally to long commuter journeys (and besides, I don't see how LT could even get this information; the entire point of the current massive wifi monitoring exercise is that they currently have no idea what routes passengers are actually taking between any given two points).

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?

According to the ORR website, there was an error with the source data which has affected a number of stations, mainly in wales and the north of England and resulted in an overestimation of usage. Both the 2018/19 and 2017/18 data has been affected so someone (or multiple people) will need to go over all 2000+ stations to check if data is correct. It is hard to tell how many stations were affected or which stations they were so it may be best to unfortunately go over the whole lot. see here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Difficultly north ( talk • contribs) 16:12, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

The current RDT has many more stations than are currently proposed, as well as an Overground extension that is no longer proposed.

Reading the London Underground House Magazine On The Move edition for July (Issue 68), I see that Mike Horne, author of several books on the London Underground, died aged 66 on 26 March 2020. The short obituary states that he briefly worked at the Metropolitan Police's forensic laboratory then joined London Underground as a station foreman. He was later an area manager and very involved in the changes to the system following the 1987 King's Cross fire. He left London Underground in 2000 and set up a transport consultancy. His most recent book was his second volume of the history of the District Railway.
I've certainly made extensive use of his six books from the Capital Transport "Illustrated History" set, which have helped make articles substantially better than they might otherwise have been.-- DavidCane ( talk) 00:24, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear this. I have cited Horne's books extensively in several GAs, and I really want to get his Victoria one in order to get every station on the line to GA. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:56, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
I thought, given the remit of this project, that I should flag up here that I have discovered that there seem to be two almost identical templates relating to London Bus and Coach Stations - namely Template:London bus and coach stations and Template:London bus, BRT and coach stations. I may be wrong, but they seem to be doing the same thing, so I do not think both are needed. Dunarc ( talk) 21:28, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
Please can we get this revert by Bazza 7 ( talk · contribs) checked? I always understood that S stood for Surface. Suburban seems rather strange, since all of the Underground lines (except the W&C) are partially suburban.
The source is a TfL Research Guide, which includes a number of doubtful claims - for instance In Dec 2007, after 18 months’ planning, a new service pattern was introduced (the ‘Extended Circle’) which increased the scheduled service on the Hammersmith Branch by 70%, from 7.5 to 12 trains per hour.
I am certain that the "Extended Circle" occurred after I joined Wikipedia, which was in May 2009; and indeed our article on the Circle line shows December 2009 as the change. --

Some of the colours used in {{ LUL colour}} are not fully compliant with WP:COLOR, as their color contrast with black or white text may be difficult to see for certain readers. This is fine for the template's intended use, for route maps etc. But when they are used for the heading in an infobox, as they are in 13 London Underground stock articles, the articles are placed in Category:Articles using Template:Infobox train with invalid colour combination. I commented at Template talk:LUL colour#Colour issue and was told that They aren't intended for use as text colours, nor as backgrounds for text. With that in mind, I'd like to go through these articles, remove the color template and add a similar hex color code that is fully compliant with WP:COLOR.

Reading the London Underground House Magazine On The Move edition for July (Issue 68), I see that Mike Horne, author of several books on the London Underground, died aged 66 on 26 March 2020. The short obituary states that he briefly worked at the Metropolitan Police's forensic laboratory then joined London Underground as a station foreman. He was later an area manager and very involved in the changes to the system following the 1987 King's Cross fire. He left London Underground in 2000 and set up a transport consultancy. His most recent book was his second volume of the history of the District Railway.
I've certainly made extensive use of his six books from the Capital Transport "Illustrated History" set, which have helped make articles substantially better than they might otherwise have been.-- DavidCane ( talk) 00:24, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear this. I have cited Horne's books extensively in several GAs, and I really want to get his Victoria one in order to get every station on the line to GA. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:56, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
I thought, given the remit of this project, that I should flag up here that I have discovered that there seem to be two almost identical templates relating to London Bus and Coach Stations - namely Template:London bus and coach stations and Template:London bus, BRT and coach stations. I may be wrong, but they seem to be doing the same thing, so I do not think both are needed. Dunarc ( talk) 21:28, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
Please can we get this revert by Bazza 7 ( talk · contribs) checked? I always understood that S stood for Surface. Suburban seems rather strange, since all of the Underground lines (except the W&C) are partially suburban.
The source is a TfL Research Guide, which includes a number of doubtful claims - for instance In Dec 2007, after 18 months’ planning, a new service pattern was introduced (the ‘Extended Circle’) which increased the scheduled service on the Hammersmith Branch by 70%, from 7.5 to 12 trains per hour.
I am certain that the "Extended Circle" occurred after I joined Wikipedia, which was in May 2009; and indeed our article on the Circle line shows December 2009 as the change. --

Hi - I have a query on the S-Stock talk page that I hope some of you can help with - exactly how many trains were delivered? Because sources differ between 191 and 192! Thanks! Turini2 ( talk) 21:07, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
I have nominated the redirects for former (now non-existent) routes London Buses route 48 and London Buses route 387 for deletion. See Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2021_March_29#London_Buses_route_387 and Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2021_March_29#London_Buses_route_48.

82.10.86.69 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) and their meatpuppet 78.149.214.23 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) are insisting on the inclusion of this and this in the lead sections of two articles, despite the total lack of sources and the apparent violation of WP:NOR. They've reverted myself and Elshad ( talk · contribs). -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 15:54, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
An editor who appears to be engaging in a crusade to remove all bus route articles from Wikipedia has turned his sights on this one. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/London Buses route 167. AlgaeGraphix ( talk) 17:12, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Some of the colours used in {{ LUL colour}} are not fully compliant with WP:COLOR, as their color contrast with black or white text may be difficult to see for certain readers. This is fine for the template's intended use, for route maps etc. But when they are used for the heading in an infobox, as they are in 13 London Underground stock articles, the articles are placed in Category:Articles using Template:Infobox train with invalid colour combination. I commented at Template talk:LUL colour#Colour issue and was told that They aren't intended for use as text colours, nor as backgrounds for text. With that in mind, I'd like to go through these articles, remove the color template and add a similar hex color code that is fully compliant with WP:COLOR.
