Starting review, may take a few days. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:00, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ritchie333, this is well written, so I've gotten through it faster than I expected. I want do to another quick skim over it, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to pass this later on today. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
No obvious MoS issues. Well written.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
Has a refs section. No copyvio issues. Source spot check done (see below), all fine.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Suitably focused. Major aspects all covered.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Neutral.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
Stable.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Images are appropriate with captions. No alt parameters, but not needed for GA.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Optional minor grammar issues

Should "single track" be hypenated when referring to a section in the lede?

Yes, per Single-track railway and by "single-track" used in the parent Marshlink line, already a GA

"by footbridge" to "by a footbridge"?

I think this would make more sense. "By footbridge" specifies a mode of transport cf. "by level crossing" but "by a" scans better

"it was estimated a" to "it was estimated that a"

Agreed

"criticised as it has created" to "criticised as having created"

I've rewritten this sentence, using this sort of grammar usually invites a second look.

Commas don't seem right in The ground floor is constructed of Flemish bond brown brick, the first floor is made of timber with weatherboard cladding and it has a slate roof.?

Copy edited

Should re-appeared be hyphenated?

No. As this was a recent edit of mine (dealing with events less than a year ago), I have a feeling the auto-correction in macOS Safari got in the way (as it has an annoying tendency to do).

I've addressed all of the suggestions here, they are all worth doing. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other comments

I thought about suggesting a collapsed map or two like Template:Marshlink Line RDT and/or the signal box being listed as a separate entity in an infobox, but absolutely not essential. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spot checks of sources

1. fine 3. fine 16. fine enough 18. fine 22. fine 26. fine 30. fine

I don't have any of the 4 books, so taking on good faith those refs are fine. I did check the books exist. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
