This article needs a map. Please work with the Maps task force to create and add a map to this article. Once the requested map is added, remove the Mapneeded parameter from the {{TrainsWikiProject}} template call on this page to remove this map request. |
I had to remove the map: it could hardly be described as a map showing "the future of Merseyrail", it was a just map of Liverpool from 1888. While some of railway lines mentioned in the "Future" section appear on it, you need to know where to look (if you look really hard, you can spot the Victoria Tunnel). A map showing future possibilities for Merseyrail can be found here (PDF file, see page 33), part of the Merseyside Local Transport Plan.
I've also removed some of the other "proposed" ideas: they appear to be pure speculation. The link to www.downtownliverpool.org (which appears to be the source of some of this material) points to a page where people were invited to send in their own suggestions, and also includes some fairly ludicrous/unworkable schemes (e.g. building a motorway along a disused railway tunnel) and nothing official. I've left in the Canada Dock branch part as it appears in the Local Transport Plan.
Let's stick to including official plans, or at least those which have appeared in the press (e.g. Burscough curves reopening), as this is meant to be an encyclopaedia. --RFBailey 21:48, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- I was being bit light hearted, the Canada Branch as the London And North Western Railway is also on it. The Hospital and University are right next to each other. I think the proposal was to use the cutting for the station.--Son of Paddy's Ego 22:06, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Merseyrail logo.gif
Image:Merseyrail logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Change of colour
