Title

A question. What will the title of the article be once the NR platform opens next year? Will it just be Northumberland Park station due to the modal change, with a hatnote to distinguish it from Northumberland Park railway station in London? Or will disambiguations of (Tyne and Wear) and (London) be added respectively? Or both? Difficultly north (talk) Time, department skies 21:30, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would probably be wise to see what name(s) are actually used once the Northumberland Line platform is opened, and see how National Rail handles its 'real world disambiguation' problem before we try and disambiguate the article name. I think the current article names are fine until the Northumberland Line trains start stopping here. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 11:14, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just to add to this my suggestion would be to move this to Northumberland Park station, which is currently a disambiguation page. "Station" serves well as this will continue to be both a railway and metro station, and is in line with the naming of Sunderland station. The London station can then continue to be at Northumberland Park railway station. --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 08:49, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

'It was indirectly replaced' - which of the two stations is 'it'? Jackiespeel (talk) 12:47, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think my rewrite of the history section has removed this ambiguity. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 11:27, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
