Improved to Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 17:03, 27 July 2020 (UTC).

  • Article was promoted to GA status, is over the required prose size and has no copyvio concerns. The link provided here doesn't show the "Homeless Express" name, but ref 99 does in the text. Hooks are interesting and have inline citations to reliable sources. QPQ provided, good to go. Kosack (talk) 08:39, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
