London station group[edit]

The London station group is a group of 18 railway stations served by the National Rail network in central London. Most are terminal stations, either serving major national services or local commuter routes. A small number are through-stations that are considered terminals for ticketing purposes. All current stations in the group fall within London fare zone 1. A ticket marked "London Terminals" allows travel to any station in the group via any permitted route, as determined by the National Routeing Guide.

The last time I put together a good topic for the List of London Monopoly locations, The Rambling Man said, "I want to see mainline stations of London next." Well, since he asked so nicely, who am I to refuse? So here is a list of all of them, together with a featured topic to tie them altogether. There are more London terminals than you think; some are well known such as King's Cross, some such as Old Street would make you think "that's a London terminus, really?" Still, they're all here for your perusal and comments. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 20:21, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your King's Cross is a dab... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:36, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose London_station_group#Former_stations are also within the scope of the topic. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 20:59, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't sure about whether or not to include them, but I don't think it's immediately obvious that the criteria would mandate them given the lead in the list article talks about "18 stations". In any case, if people want to say "no, go and get Kensington Olympia and Kings X Thameslink to GA" then I'll see you in six months to a year.

Support I think it's reasonable to have a complete topic of only extant stations. Reywas92^Talk 19:52, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Armbrust. - Brojam (talk)

I can't see any possible way of getting King's Cross Thameslink railway station to GA - ever (it's a borderline merge target), so we're screwed. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:01, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Due to there not being any consensus to promote this topic, and the nominator appears to have essentially withdrawn the nomination, I am failing this nomination. Feel free to nominate again if the issues discussed are addressed.--十八 21:31, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Juhachi: Can you recommend appropriate book sources to do so? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:03, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
