Length and date of expansion are fine, the article is well sourced and the hook is brilliant. I suggest that it be saved for the April Fool's day effort coming up. The concept of a direct line between Middlesbrough and 'California' is great. Offline sources accepted in good faith. Benea (talk) 20:04, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Saving it for April Fool's Day sounds like a great idea. Prioryman (talk) 21:10, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
