Initial thoughts. Need to add:
Comments, improvements and general butchery welcomed. Chris cheese whine 18:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I've been working on the lines in the north eastern region, and have done the Tees Valley Line, Esk Valley Line and Durham Coast Line templates, and have put quite a lot of research into the past stations that have been on the lines, with various sources.
So, seeing this discussion I've decided to say my bit. I based these templates on the Birmingham Cross-City Line template, which I think offers the best style for them.
I think this way would look best for the standard, what does everyone else think? -- Simmo676 20:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Simmo676's ideas are good, as far as standard design goes, but I think its also important for the templates not to be too wide, so we should only use three coloumns as necessary. Small text will also stop the templates getting too wide. Dannyboy3 20:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I propose that on the major (and long!) main lines (WCML, ECML, MML, CTRL, etc) we offer a simple version of WP:TRAIL at the top of the page (ie where intercity trains stop and branch off only, not every old station, local stop, closed mineral line, etc) and then offer latter on on the page the full WP:TRAIL template with all details. I have to admit I'm not keen on the templates used the WCML and ECML pages that are also included in each individual station's page. Thoughts people ??? Pickle 13:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Can editors please note that you don't have to use the BHF/BF icon for all stations, as i understand it they are only for big stations (eg London termini, etc), all other stations should probably be using HST icon. Pickle 14:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
We should also have a standard title bar colour, as many Scottish lines seem to be different colours, so here are my suggestions;
With this setup it would be clear what the route is just from the template. Any thoughts? Dannyboy3 20:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
We could include coordinates (and thus microformats) - see coordinates in railway line templates; and mileages - see {{ Chase Line}} Andy Mabbett 00:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
