Voyagers[edit]

CrossCountry has decided to reintroduce 5 HSTs to supplement the Voyagers. The Voyagers are too unpopular, and there are not enough seats or luggage space.[citation needed]

This is a bit dubious. Voyagers are generally liked by pax, but should have been lengthened. Its been reported on uk.railway that Virgin were going to order more Voyagers and lengthen existing, but the DfT favoured Arriva's cheaper High Density Voyagers plus a couple of HSTs plan

Merge[edit]

British Rail Classes 253, 254 and 255 has been merged. The Class 252 still has its own article.

British Rail Classes 253, 254 and 255 is content forking of this article, being class numbers applied to some members for short periods. Propose merging that article into this one. A previous merge proposal was closed on the basis that this discussion, that did gather some support for a merge, was still active. Seven days after the last post, that discussion has gone cold. Nukerstt (talk) 04:08, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Now the discussion has taken place and gone cold. I support the idea. :10mmsocket (talk) 08:21, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal issue[edit]

the Merger proposal was closed when it was still very much active. I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 07:29, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal directly above was started 3 months ago? Hardly "active". Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 07:31, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But the last two votes happened on the same day. Also it is missing some votes. I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 07:33, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I only closed it because I was reminded of it when I saw those comments. If people wanted they had 3 months to make any comments on it. Consensus there supported it, so it was thus closed. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 07:35, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

there was a comment which did not support it and it made in the same time and it did not show up in the comment box. I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 07:38, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to the page history. No one made any comment outside those that are there. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 07:46, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per the instructions, closure can be made 7 days after the discussion is initiated. At no point was the oppose vote ever ahead, so regardless of when the discussion was closed, the redirect proposal was going to be successful. I have gone ahead and redirected. Much of the content already appears to already be in the InterCity 125 article, and that that isn't, is uncited. Walisnyx (talk) 06:09, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mexico[edit]

We have "Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec" in the infobox, with a paywalled citation, but nothing about this in the body of the article. Can someone add some suitable content, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:33, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
