This article was previously under Richmond Station, somebody moved it, apparently without consultation, I say that because I am the first one editing the discussion page, to Richmond (BART station). This article was previously moved to Richmond Station from Richmond(BART), as this is a multimodal station serving both Amtrak and BART it seems fair to say that Richmond Station is a better term, if there is no more discussion on the issue I will move it to Richmond Station on December 20. -- User:JVittes Dec. 17, 2005 17:17 (PST)

It looks like Richmond Station was turned into a disambiguation page. However, I still think this article should still be renamed because "BART station" still is not a good specific term. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:29, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
What about Richmond Station(California) or Richmond Station(Bay Area), we should try to get a few ideas for names, but that is all I can come up with aside from Richmond Station(BART and Amtrak). User:JVittes Dec. 17, 2005 18:13 (PST)
Richmond Station (California) is the shortest, most descriptive one I see for now. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Transit Connections

I don't think any of the bus routes listed will ever have an article for it, I propose removing the wikilinks to them as they may be detracting from the page. --JVittes 05:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree they should be included.^{Cholga is a SUPERSTAR}¡Talk2Cholga!_{Sexy Contribs} 07:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the platform formatting to reflect the same formatting as all other BART stations, which show where the platform is located. 71.198.231.208 (talk) 23:24, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Station layout

@Zzyzx11: I removed the station layout for two reasons. First, it's simply redundant to three lines of prose (plus the s-rail templates in the infobox), yet takes up an entire screen. That's poor article design, and is an issue with the majority of these diagrams. Second, it's rather misleading. The UP tracks are not northbound/southbound/passing track; trains may be in either direction on either main. Notably, any train stopping at Berkeley will usually be on the eastern track (main 2) to avoid the 10mph crossover at CP Stege. The non-platform track is a low-speed siding and is not generally used by any passenger train. The passageway also goes the whole way under the tracks, perpendicular to the platforms, which is not what the diagram shows. If you want to improve the diagram I might not oppose re-adding it, but in its current form it is a net negative to the article. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:35, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Maybe it could possibly be redone and split in the future, like you did on Oakland Coliseum station#Station layout ... but I now agree: only if there was more cited prose. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:35, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

@Mjdestroyerofworlds: What are you trying to do with the lede? It is already a summary of the cited information presented in the prose. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Pi.1415926535 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:56, 6 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Article is new enough as it passed GA on 6 June. It is much more than long enough. The hook is cited and within policy, a visual would be nice for it but if one isn't available that can't be had. It passed a GA review and I don't see any glaring policy problems, copyright is OK. QPQ was fulfilled at Template:Did you know nominations/WRIG. Pikavoom ^Talk 09:46, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
