Latitude and longitude

I moved the location about 20 kilometers east. According to the article's first sentence, and the map in its lower right corner, the tunnel goes from Hommelvik to Hell, Norway. But the previous latitude and longitude were in Trondheim. So I moved the location to the southwest end of the tunnel. The map is imprecise but I think the end of the tunnel is within a few hundred meters of my location. Art LaPella (talk) 22:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

"reducing travel time with five minutes" sounds awkward.
Is the proposed tunnel going through any rapid changes right now?

I am placing the article on hold. ---Dough 48 72 17:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I presume by five minutes is correct English. I think this is one of those terms where Norwegian is confusing me. As for changes, the tunnel is currently being built, so it is going through quite some change. But there is little evidence that anything particular will happen before the opening in 2012. It's too late to change the plans now, though in the end another tunnel may have to be built. Arsenikk ^(talk) 12:25, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will pass the article. ---Dough 48 72 03:00, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced text

I've removed the latest addition of text because it is not referenced. This is a good article, and needs to meet the good article criteria, including all information being referenced. Further, statements like "It must be pointed out" is clearly POV and breaches the MOS. While some of the comments are probably true, they seem to be original research; if the same criticism can be raised from reliable, qualified bodies, it can be added in a neutral way. However, many of the claims in the addition presume that operations after a full upgrade to high-speed would continue along the same model as today (with commuter trains only)—this is not part of Norsk Bane's plans, which involve many trains stopping at neither Hell/Stjørdal/Værnes and especially not Hommelvik. They are, after all, planning ICE-style operations with a limited number of stops direct from Steinkjer to Oslo. Arsenikk ^(talk) 11:05, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
