[edit] Poor editing

I'm a new editor, could someone please give the first external link a name?

[edit] NPOV?

The second paragraph in "The Jarrow March In Popular Culture" doesnt seem to be NPOV or particularly well written (The terms "arty-media darlings" & "It was a fiasco, but a great laugh !!!!" seem out of place.). I feel it should be either amended or removed. Deckchair 11:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a poor quality article, worse than I'd expected it to be.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 21:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] expansion

I've just added a large amount of content to this article, though I am not expert on the subject I'd still judge this needs article to be checked out to ensure the facts are correct.--Mas 18 dl 19:05, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] question about route to London

As a Geordie living in Hertfordshire, I'm curious about the route given in the article. Why would the route go from St. Albans to Edmonton? Luton to St. Albans is on the old A5, which continues on from St. Albans through Edgware, Cricklewood and Kilburn, to Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch and Paliament.

Curiosly, there is a reference to a route from St. Albans to London Colney and then to Edgware. Also a curious route, but more logical than going to Edmonton.

I see Tom Pickard's book is in the Uni. library at Hatfield. I'll check it out to see if there is a definitive version.
