User talk:Ritchie333/London termini
Scope
[edit]@The Rambling Man:, @OcarinaOfTime: I've just thrown this quick progress chart so we can see what to do, and what to tick off. I'm working on Euston at the moment, Ocarina of Time's working on St Pancras.
In terms of what to include, I've taken the London stations from Template:Major railway stations in Great Britain. However, sources I'm using include Broad Street, which obviously isn't on the template as it's historical - are there any other stations I've missed off?

- Are City Thameslink and Blackfriars classed as London termini? But not Farringdon? — Amakuru (talk) 19:32, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- The ultimate arbiter is this National Rail source which does indeed list City Thameslink and Blackfriars; however, when I look a little closer, I see that "The exception to this is where there are National Rail journey opportunities that include a choice of London Terminal stations on the Thameslink route between London Bridge, London Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon and London St Pancras." (Given half of the tube stations around it are GA anyway, and I've got the book sources here, that's not a bad idea in itself). However, looking at the source closely, it is the only one of all of the central Thameslink stops that you cannot use a "London Terminals" ticket for at all. I've put a footnote in London station group, but it's not part of the list. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 22:01, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- I might have a look at Kensington Olympia next unless anyone already has that in hand. Then you can go back and claim the good topic. It's been quite fun delving into the KCTL for a bit. And writing an article with GA but not FA aspirations makes life easier. — Amakuru (talk) 16:55, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- I've done some of Kensington Olympia, but I'm stuck for sources at the moment. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:00, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
