External links

Currently http://www.alliancerail.co.uk/ returns "Alliance Rail Holdings - Website coming soon" whilst http://www.alliancerail.co.uk/demo seems to return the company website. However, the "demo" name and the "Website coming soon" message both seem to suggest that the website hasn't been officially launched yet and as such we cannot be confident that the information at http://www.alliancerail.co.uk/demo is accurate. Therefore, we shouldn't link to the development version of the website just because we've found it and can access it, particularly since when the website is launched it will appear at http://www.alliancerail.co.uk/ and http://www.alliancerail.co.uk/demo may stop working. I would suggest that we should only link to http://www.alliancerail.co.uk/. Adambro (talk) 17:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

London-Garforth-Leeds-Shipley-Keighley-Skipton service dropped?

Well, before December 2013, Alliance had an interest of running services between Kings Cross and Skipton via Garforth and Keighley. but that has seems to be dropped for some reason. Why? I saw their intention of the service on their website before December 2013, but I'm puzzled (i live in Skipton myself for that matter) and I'm wondering why they dropped the service? --86.9.231.199 (talk) 20:29, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

'The proposed services were to have been' - is this really necessary?

There are two big sections giving details of the rejected proposals. Is this really notable information? Imo, it is not and should be deleted. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:09, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest just giving in detail those that have been agreed or any still outstanding, and summarise briefly the proposals rejected in a sentence or two to give a rough idea of the scope. -- Alarics (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'Planned rolling stock'

It is premature to include this section. See Wikipedia policy wp:CRYSTAL. Wait until it actually happens or at least the train leasing contracts have been sign. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:51, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Great North Western Railway merge suggestion

Now that is been announced services will not be operated by GNWR in its own right but by Grand Central, suggest that the GNWR article be redirect back here as it was up until 12 months ago when split out on the assumption GNWR would be a stand alone operator.

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 07:44, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
