Confusion between old and new stations

The article switches between the old station building, the platforms and the new facilities. These are all quite distinct and should be kept separate.Royalcourtier (talk) 03:27, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. If I didn't know the history and the layout prior to 2003, I would wonder what it's talking about at times. I miss the old cafetaria, the ticket office, and the underground walkway to the platforms. Akld guy (talk) 05:12, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and split the new and old stations. The official narrative run by KiwiRail and Auckland Transport is that the Strand is really considered its own entity, despite it obviously using the old station's platforms and that the old station operated for a while without the building. It all became a bit confusing when I read the page recently. The confusion is rather noticeable outside of Wikipedia too with some articles using the old station building as the image for Strand Station articles and a number of people mentioning general confusion and talking about visiting the building expecting to catch the Northern Explorer. By splitting the articles, hopefully some clarity is established, at least here Fcjh (talk) 05:37, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

American Embassy

I have never heard the building referred to as the American Embassy. I owned one of the apartments, and was closely involved with the management, so ought to have heard such an expression, if it was indeed used. Since no citation is given I recommend removal of the reference.Royalcourtier (talk) 03:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard it referred to as such, and googling throws up no hits. I suspect it was a nickname used by some tenants but never gained wide usage. I'm in agreement with removing it. Akld guy (talk) 05:07, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

1997

The article mentions 1997, but I don't know why. What happened here in 1997? Johnragla (talk) 04:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
