Terminus

It seems a bit odd putting the terminus label in "following station" with the next station along the line as "preceding". It is, of course, true in some sense; but would it not be more logical to swap these around, as they seem to be for most other termini (both ends of the brighton line: Victoria or Brighton for example)? In other words make it look like this:

Preceding station	National Rail		Following station

Selhurst		Southern Sutton & Mole Valley Line	Waddon
Norwood Junction		Southern London Victoria to Sutton via Crystal Palace	Waddon
Terminus		Southern London Bridge to West Croydon	Selhurst
Preceding station	London Overground		Following station
Terminus		Windrush line East London line	Norwood Junction towards Crystal Palace or West Croydon
Preceding station	Tramlink		Following station
Centrale One-way operation		Tramlink Wimbledon to Beckenham Junction	Wellesley Road towards Beckenham Junction
		Tramlink Wimbledon to Elmers End	Wellesley Road towards Elmers End
		Tramlink New Addington to Croydon town centre	Wellesley Road towards New Addington
Disused railways
Terminus		Network SouthEast West Croydon to Wimbledon Line	Waddon Marsh

Which is like saying (for example) "London Overground services leave here for Norwood Junction on their way to Dalston Junction" rather than that "London Overground services from Dalston Junction terminate here having just passed through Norwood Junction".

It seems more natural to me but I didn't change it in case there is a convention that I'm missing. Bagunceiro (talk) 12:57, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
