Talk:The Severn Valley Railway under GWR/BR ownership
The narrative presently covers well beyond GWRGreat Western Railway ownership. Shouldn't this be separated into another heading? Boldford (talk) 13:40, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Ideally I think the page needs to be retitled ...Under GWRGreat Western Railway/BRBritish Rail or British Railways ownerhip... in line with the link that brings you here. GWRGreat Western Railway and BRBritish Rail or British Railways could then be sections within it. I haven't tried renaming a page yet - if anyone else can then please do or if not I'll have a play later.

A bit of text about the proposed line towards Wolverhampton from a little south of Bridgnorth is also needed. Boldford (talk) 17:04, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
It's not possible to edit the title of a page, but it is possible for administrators to move a page, which amounts to pretty much the same thing.
I can move it to The Severn Valley Railway under GWR/BR ownership, or perhaps The Severn Valley Railway under GWRGreat Western Railway & BRBritish Rail or British Railways ownership if it's best kept on one page, or anyone could create a separate The Severn Valley Railway under BRBritish Rail or British Railways ownership page if they want to. I'll let someone else make the decision, I'll just do the moving if needed. --Graham Phillips 110 (talk) 23:46, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Given the new timetables section, it's probably worth noting that we have permission to use extracts from the scanned working timetables on Michael Clemens' website:
"[...] I was wondering whether it would it be possible to use some extracts from your scans of GWRGreat Western Railway/WR Working Timetables on the SVRSevern Valley Railway Wiki? You would, of course, be credited for having put in the effort to scan them. [...]"
"[...] I have no problem with what you suggest and would appreciate a credit plus link to my site. [...]"
It's worth noting that the line was awkwardly situated at the border of several GWRGreat Western Railway/WR districts, and moved several times. Initially, Hartlebury-Shrewsbury is in Section 15, and Kidderminster-Woofferton in Section 12; both then moved to Section K "Gloucester and Worcester Districts" by 59/60, and then from 1961 both were in Section H "Birmingham District".

- Thanks for that! I've added a few with credits as requested. Hopefully they are legible - seem to be OK on the desktop but not tried on the tablet yet.
- I was also debating re-typing a couple from scratch, particularly the opening day timetable which appears in several books including Nabarro's. Will see if I get a chance.
