Oldest surviving railway terminus ??[edit]

I have deleted the entry saying it is the oldest surviving railway terminus. It my opinion the preserved Manchester Liverpool Road opened in 1830 holds that record.

You presumably mean the Liverpool Road railway station (Manchester) which first opened on 15 September 1830 (Liverpool Road is no longer used as a station). There is also the Earlestown railway station which also first opened on 15 September 1830 (the opening date of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway) and whose current oldest building dates from 1835. Earlestown station is at a 3 way junction and is not a line terminus. 67.86.75.96 (talk) 01:06, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HS2 Station - will eventually need a new article[edit]

I think if this fast-rail project goes ahead then the section currently in this article regarding a new terminus needs to have its own page because the two Curzon Street station will be distinctively different things. The only commonality is they will share parts of the same site.86.177.63.31 (talk) 17:05, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Split[edit]

In the interest of future-proofing, it would be better to have the main article as the HS2 station name as work on this is starting and includes the sole remaining building of the old station, and have the historical one using the dates in operation i.e. Birmingham Curzon Street railway station (1838-1966). --FDent (talk) 20:23, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you although I think it should be Birmingham Curzon Street railway station and Curzon Street railway station (old) simply because it closed to passengers in 1892 and was mainly a Goods station to 1966 so effectively the dates could vary. I also believe it should be split because the two are very different purposes as stated above so the two would have to be seperate articles.

Changed my mind, I agree with the idea of splitting them as originally suggested as it would make sense as they only have the name and site in common. So I think they should be split. 08:26, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
If it is split I think the historic station should stay as the main topic for now. As the new one is as yet only proposed, and it doesn't even have a name decided yet. G-13114 (talk) 16:51, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Birmingham Curzon Street is the official station name in the phase 1 of HS2 given the go-ahead in 2017 [1] . As what's there at the moment is only the old building, without any other station infrastructure this article is confusing.--FDent (talk) 19:39, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think splitting makes sense. Unlike, say St Pancras (which has never closed), the two stations share the name and the destination, but are otherwise completely different projects. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do we want a set index for this? We have essentially two different stations with exactly the same name, one historical and one not yet built. That would leave a problem that both articles would need to be named something else. Lithopsian (talk) 14:13, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
