Moving Mr Lockwood → Lockwood (Wuthering Heights)

Hi, I noticed you placed a proposed deletion tag on Lockwood (Wuthering Heights), indicating that you wanted to make room to move Mr Lockwood there. While you have done nothing wrong, for future reference you will get a faster response to these types of requests by following the steps at Wikipedia:Requested moves. I've taken a slightly different approach and placed a speedy deletion tag on it, as I use Twinkle and this approach is slightly faster. Either way, an administrator should be along within a few hours and if he/she agrees that this move is not controversial, it will be moved. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:52, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah that makes sense, thanks for doing that for me :) Davemnt (talk) 21:44, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Euston OSI

I have checked for the second time the OSI information as given in {{Citation London station interchange May 2011}}

In summary:

Kings Cross LU >> Kings Cross LU; St Pancras Intl; Kings Cross NR (lines 32, 33, 34, 35, 39, 40, 41, 75 & 76)
St Pancras Intl >> Kings Cross NR (line 94)
Euston LU >> Euston Sq; Euston NR (line 24 & 25)
Euston Sq >> Euston NR (line 26)

Further searches in the spreadsheet against Euston, Kings Cross or St Pancras has not identified any other entries. I used both Crtl-F and Auto Filter.

If there is an entry that has missed the filter and/or Ctrl-F I will stand corrected. --Stewart^{(talk | edits)} 12:12, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Citation London station interchange May 2011, xls lines 91-92

Euston NR - St Pancras Intl

Euston NR - Kings Cross NR

I'm not sure why that hasn't come up for you with Crtl-F "Euston", but it's definately there. I'll often walk between terminals rather than take the tube if I'm pushed for time as you have more control over the connection time, so I can see the logic behind it, too. Davemnt (talk) 13:34, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ta found it now - guess it was the interaction between Ctrl-F and Auto Filter that caught me out. Ironically I will have to do the Euston LU >> Kings Cross NR (which is not shown as an OSI?? - can not be true, is that another one I have missed) walk on Sunday as the Northern Line (Bank Branch) is closed when I want to get from the northern reaches of the Northern Line to Kings Cross. --Stewart^{(talk | edits)} 19:36, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that one is, cause if you're at Euston LU then you can normally stay on the tube to King's Cross St Pancras and make the OSI from there. Can't you take the Victoria line? Davemnt (talk) 20:20, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not if you are on Northern Line (Charing Cross branch). The walk from the Charing Cross platforms (the only ones without escaloators) to the Victoria Line is a far as heading to the ticket barriers. If I am going to use two trains I am more likely to change at Kentish Town. --Stewart^{(talk | edits)} 20:58, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How tickled I am...

As far as I can ascertain, you are the creator of Template:Citation London station interchange May 2011 which creates the following on pages where it is used:

"† Please note, stations here are some distance away from the current station but are close enough that interchange is permitted on one tickle as part of the same journey."

Tickle? Surely, ticket! I've tried in vain to alter this. Perhaps you can. Emeraude (talk) 12:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of the text you quoted above, I didn't writ it, and whoever began implementing it wasn't thorough (Kenton and Northwick Park don't have it). There is no typo on Euston railway station or Charing Cross railway station though, but I can't work out where the interchange_note text comes from either! Has someone fixed it now? Davemnt (talk) 13:36, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw it on Park Royal first, and then on several others. It is fixed now. Emeraude (talk) 14:08, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
