I was just reading London Underground trivia and came to the 'Hauntings' section at the bottom of the article. I had a vague recollection of an article London Underground Ghosts which I was about to provide a {{main}} link to, when I discovered that it had been deleted – apparently in the last 24hrs.
Was anyone aware of this article (which is in the 'See Also' section of London Underground? Or aware that it was under threat of deletion? Did anyone suggest its contents should be merged into the 'trivia' page? I can't assess it now, of course, since it has been deleted.
Thought I'd draw attention to it here, as I assume it's the most lilkely place to find these answers!
EdJogg 17:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for that. The PROD information available to non-admins was insufficient to be certain that the article had been reviewed by WP:LT members before it was deleted. It's always frustrating to come across a page that has just been deleted... Cheers EdJogg 18:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering whether or not the Battery and Maintenance Locomotives being tested at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, Wirksworth, require an article, or whether they can be added to an existing article. Being a volunteer there, I am in a perfect position to update on the proceedings. - Bluegoblin7 14:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Noone seems to have made any nominations or votes for the monthly collabaration article which hasn't changed in over a year. Does the collaboration at Wikipedia:WikiProject London Transport/Collaboration still exist? Thanks Tbo 157 talk 22:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I think that a Wikiproject UK Trams might be in order at the present time. There are already several Wikiprojects that cover trams, but all seem to be rather blank in the UK area. There are hardly any articles on trams, and those that there are, are either stubs, lacking factual references, or are complete so that they only need to be edited to add specialist information. i have almost single handedly revamped the National Tramway Museum Page, and it would be hard to belive that a couple of months ago, it was a stub. Please rally your support or oposal here. The project would cover all trams, both modern and heritage, proposed and forgotten, built and demolished. The page will be started in due course here. - Bluegoblin7 14:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Has anyone else noticed the chaos that's engulfed Docklands Light Railway today (28 Aug)? Ought someone to do something? — iridescent (talk to me!) 16:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
There's an AfD currently ongoing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of London streets and roads which regulars here might want to comment on — iridescent (talk to me!) 19:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
People seem to wonder what we cover so here is the latest comprehensive list;
I hope that covers everything! Unisouth 07:35, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Do we really only have one Featured List and four Good Articles in our remit? That seems awfully low, especially given that none are about National Rail, none about buses and only the list about LUL, which are the three most heavily covered (both on Wikipedia and in the real world) aspects of transport in London. Are there some more floating round that haven't made it onto the list? — iridescent (talk to me!) 00:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Have come across this while on the Great Tagging Spree. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what can be done with it? Someone's obviously put a hell of a lot of work into it but a separate paragraph for every house on a street of 306 houses seems to be an indiscriminate list of information by any possible standard — iridescent (talk to me!) 17:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Is this project claiming all street articles as part of its project? I'm trying to work out why St Agnes Place was tagged - it's never had any buses so I don't see how it is connected to London Transport. Secretlondon 04:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Sunil060902 has just renamed every LU line from Northern Line to Northern line etc with no apparent discussion or consensus to do so other then this festival of sockpuppetry , breaking dozens of links in the process. As there's no consensus as to what the proper form is - Capital Transport always uses upper case, TFL uses the lower case form, and Wikipedia policy would normally be to capitalise it as a proper name, does anyone have any opinion on this? I'm willing to rollback all the changes made, but don't want to do do so without a consensus as - while I don't agree with it - a case could be made for keeping them in this form. — iride scent 16:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Next time you look at an Underground map, leaflet, sign, or a train with a line-label on the front or passenger window, ask yourself which is TfL's preferred branding for each of their lines:
Is it:
I have noticed that the following has been inserted into all tube line articles:
Note: Although it is not grammatically correct, TfL nowadays seem to use mixed upper/lower case when referring to the line names on all literature, maps, signs and even labels on some trains. For example, the Circle line is always listed as Circle line, not Circle Line. However this does not extend to National Rail services, eg. the North London Line.
However I don't agree with this. As a user mentioned at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways#London Transport line renaming, whether the correct form is "line or "Line" depends on whether you see the whole name, i.e."Norther Line", as the proper noun or if you only see "Northern" as the proper noun, "line" just being inserted as a common noun. This is simialr to "station". For example, "Euston station" is correct while "Euston Station" is not as "station" is just a common noun added to denote that it is a station. Tbo 157 (talk) 16:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi everyone! How do I publish a nice picture of a Northern Line, I mean
Northern line (LOL!) train with a mixed case label on the cab door? That would be my "Exhibit A". best,
Sunil060902 17:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
I have found the discussion about the these name changes. See Talk:London_Underground#Names_of_LU_lines. Simply south 18:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Apologies if one already exists, but I thought it might be an idea to provide a list (easier) or an article (a bit more care needed) of station complexes within London.
Definition? Any two stations that are linked to one another by dedicated subways/footbridges or other National Rail/TfL property. Ie. interchange between the component stations is not necessary at street level. The obvious example is Bank/ Monument, which the article in Wikipedia points out is officially a complex. But what about unofficial complexes? Most of the National Rail termini/ Underground interchanges would qualify I would assume. Of course there are several "close-shaves", like Limehouse railway station where one has to tread a few yards at street level to get to the DLR and vice versa. But these could be listed too as a subsection. On the other hand Paddington tube station can be considered a single station by virtue of the mainline station linking to two components.
The main inspiration has got to be the new St. Pancras railway station, which when combined with the Underground station, the new Thameslink platforms, and Kings Cross railway station (accessible from St. Pancras via the tube station!) will provide a grand total of 34 platforms (mainline/subsurface/tube)! A record I think in London and the wider UK.
Is this an interesting idea? Bad idea? best, Sunil060902 10:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I have opened a discussion on this at Talk:Bakerloo line#Requested Move and tagged all pages. Bearing in mind the various comments above we need to bottom this out one way or another. Regan123 20:10, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
I've been taking a look at categorisation under Category:Transport in London - the category was getting a bit difficult for a reader to navigate, so some new subcategories have been created, which make the category more understandable.
Naturally not everyone will agree with the categories they will sit in - please don't feel put out if there's a re-categorisation on your article, and make changes as you want - it's genuine attempt at making it more consistent and easy to navigate. It's very tempting to put everything at the top level of Transport in London, but this doesn't necessarily serve the reader well - but of course it depends on the article.
New useful categories:
As I said, not everyone will agree, and please don't take umbrage - it's a positive effort to sort articles more effectively. Even if your favourite article isn't on the top category level now, it's logical and should be easy to use. Also, the category description points directly to the major articles for ease of use. Have a browse. -- Cnbrb 14:15, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I notice that someone from this project is tagging articles with the LT tag that seem inappropriate to be included in the scope of this project - Turnpike Lane - about the street - as well as Turnpike Lane tube station; Stroud Green Road?

Hi. The Did you know section of the London Transport Portal doesnt't seem to get updated very often so I have created the page, Portal:London Transport/Submit DYK where users can submit any interesting facts.

At the moment, Crossrail isn't specified as being encompassed by this WikiProject. Given that it is included on TfL 'future' maps (eg the 2010 one amongst others) and that the mockup train is at Acton museum, and it very clearly will be a 'London' service, shouldn't it be added in here? -- AlisonW ( talk) 00:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Our coverage of London Buses has been extended to cover the bus types themselves. All buses on the List of bus types used in London should be 'tagged'.

Hello readers of WikiProject London Transport!
I just wondered if any of you would be interested in joining up to
Train Spotting World, a wiki just for railways and similar things! We are also in the process of setting up several "Workforces", similar to WikiProjects, and were wondering if anyone wnated to help!
Various Wikipedians have gone over there, including myself,

I removed the Turnpike Lane one but then wanted to check if these articles are meant to be tagged before touching the SGR one. Can someone check & ammend or let me know and I will hjuk ( talk) 09:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Fairnuff. Will leave to it this group's discretion. hjuk ( talk) 14:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. The Did you know section of the London Transport Portal doesnt't seem to get updated very often so I have created the page, Portal:London Transport/Submit DYK where users can submit any interesting facts. All facts submitted will be placed in the Did you know section of the portal. So please submit your facts. Thanks. Tbo 157 (talk) 17:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
I think that now the project is large enough, it should have an ad in the Wikipedia ads template. So if someone can come up with a design (that must of course include our project logo) then please submit it here and place it in the Wikipedia ads template, thank you!

I have requested a peer review of London congestion charge. Any comments would be gratefully accepted as well as any advice on getting a map for the expanded zone. Regan123 ( talk) 01:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
The main page for this project does seem to be unorganised and confusing. I am willing to redesign the main page but I thought I should ask opinions from participants of this WikiProject first. What do other users think? Tbo 157 (talk) 18:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
At the moment, Crossrail isn't specified as being encompassed by this WikiProject. Given that it is included on TfL 'future' maps (eg the 2010 one amongst others) and that the mockup train is at Acton museum, and it very clearly will be a 'London' service, shouldn't it be added in here? -- AlisonW ( talk) 00:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
How can we raise the profile and awareness of P:LT? Suggestions welcome. Simply south 01:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
No, I think there should be a new template that lists each portal assocciated with the article. The typeface being larger depending if the portal link is more relevant.

Hi, everyone. I have just made this diagram of Thames Clippers Tornado Clipper for use by this project. Unisouth ( talk) 15:27, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Do any users think its time to get a new logo for this WikiProject? Maybe more in line with the new silver roundels created by USer:Unisouth or any other designs. Suggestions? Tbo 157 (talk) 17:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I photographed this bus at Liverpool Street and it has the number 53 on its blind, however it appears to be on a different route from London Buses route 53. I have checked the Wiki article with the info on TFL's website and it appears to be correct. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Oxyman42 ( talk) 00:42, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Our coverage of London Buses has been extended to cover the bus types themselves. All buses on the List of bus types used in London should be 'tagged'. If you know a bus type used in london that is not on that list then you can update it and place our template on that articles talk page. Unisouth ( talk) 17:08, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello readers of WikiProject London Transport!
I just wondered if any of you would be interested in joining up to
Train Spotting World, a wiki just for railways and similar things! We are also in the process of setting up several "Workforces", similar to WikiProjects, and were wondering if anyone wnated to help!
Various Wikipedians have gone over there, including myself,
User:Tbo 157,
User:Slambo,
User:EdJogg,
User:Timtrent and
User:S.C.Ruffeyfan.
If you want more info, or have joined up and want some guidance, let me know here or there on my talk page!
Thanks,
Bluegoblin
