[edit] Fork

Tclode set up Ascot to Guildford Service, which IMHO is an unnecessary fork, carried out without the proper talk, or page movement notification that have created an editing fork.

while Tclode is right there is a service between Ascot and Guildford, there is also a specific bit of track associated only with that line, which called Tclode "Ascot to Ash Vale branch line". there is across the numerous UK railway line article a huge conflict between services and actual lines. some editor have written specific article on the physical line, using its Network rail rout number (eg North Berwick Line and Network Rail route SC 147 or Portsmouth Direct Line and Network Rail route SW 110 ).

IMHO this current page could be "moved" (not copied and pasted) to "Ascot to Guildford Service" if the appropriate article on the Ascot to Ash Vale branch line was created - but considering the lack of information and the lack of consensus across Wikipedia on how to the handle this issue I'm weakly in favour of keeping the status quo.

[edit] Addition of Ascot to Ash Vale branch line

IMO the presence of this article in its current format is a bit misleading. I agree that a separate article specific to the Ascot to Ash Vale branch line would be beneficial, especially if coupled with detail unique to this stretch of track. It must be noted that the historical detail of the various pieces of line shared by this service differs from mile to mile. Apologies to all for the lack of consultation prior to the edit - the speed and interest of response is truly astonishing and a credit to the Wikipedia community.

I support the creation of an article on the Ascot to Ash Vale branch line. The fact that there is sort of an article on the Ascot to Guildford line makes no difference, as this article is really the description of a train service (is this notable?). The fact that a service runs between Ascot and Guildford can be covered by the articles on the Ascot to Ash Vale branch line and the North Downs Line as part of the timetable information. Not sure how the above can be achieved, but perhaps the Ascot to Guildford line can be renamed as Ascot to Ash Vale branch line and then a map can be produced, the history added, and the fact that trains run between Ascot and Guildford can be mentioned (who would want to do this??)
