The result of the move request was: Moved as requested to Metrolink titles Mike Cline (talk) 11:23, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]



– These three railway stations have been closed for several years for conversion to become part of the Manchester Metrolink. They are due to open early tomorrow morning (UK time) so they should be updated to reflect their new use. Sections in the articles can be made to detail the stations' past uses for heavy rail.

Article split

[edit]

I would argue that this article should be split into Oldham Mumps railway station for the former railway station, and Oldham Mumps tram stop, for the modern tram stop which carries its name. In the same way as Oldham Central railway station and Oldham Central tram stop are separate.

It is pretty clear that the two things are separate, as they are in different locations, and on different stretches of track, and carry a different transport mode. The only commonality between them is that the modern tram stop carries the name of the former train station. It seems a bit odd for two separate things to be squeezed into one article like this. Any thoughts? 18:00, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
