The Beeching Axe did not spell the end for Yarmouth Southtown.

The 1844 line from Norwich to Yarmouth was a long way off being one of the first railways in the UK. Norfolk was very late in getting railway connections due to its relatively low industrial trade. The Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in 1825. I've changed it to "county", which is far more accurate.

Past or pedantic?

[edit]

This article says, as also does at least one other article, the station is "formally" known as some sort of Vauxhall, but further in the article says it was previously known as some sort of Vauxhall and is now renamed Vauxhallless. It seems either this article contradicts itself or "formally" and "formerly" have been confused.--SilasW (talk) 14:32, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing sources

[edit]
  • Allen, Cecil J. (1956) [1955]. The Great Eastern Railway (2nd ed.). Hampton Court: Ian Allan.

Can anyone confirm if this is the missing CJ Allen source? Djm-leighpark (talk) 04:00, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Djm-leighpark: I have that book, and it matches. The user who added the text in question did so by copypasting from another article; but they copied the rendered text and not the Wikimarkup. They did this on quite a lot of pages. I tried cleaning up some of those pages at the time, but that user then overwrote much of my fixes so I gave up, intending to return when they finally went away. I just forgot to return to this one. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 12:04, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redrose64 I know the feeling. Its a safety hazard on UK Railways. As you're here first I'll use sfn but forgive me when I slip up and use sfnp.Djm-leighpark (talk) 15:11, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
