[edit] Lincoln-London
Do people plan to keep the route box for NXEC's proposed service to Lincoln on this page for three years? Please tell me what the point of that is? No one knows what the route will be, and three years is plenty of time for people to change their minds. This should be removed until nearer to when it is due to start.

The route is via the ECML. Every rail magazine says it. ACBest 16:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- I second that, if you look at articles like Hartlepool railway station and Ruabon railway station they both mention future train operations. This service is well documented and there is absolutely no valid reason not to include the service in the article. Danielnez1 19:32, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, but those services (which will be run by Grand Central and Wrexham & Shropshire) are starting within the next year, not starting in three years time. Hammersfan 06/09/07, 13.39 BST
- This is rare, I'm agreeing with Hammersfan. Consensus is not to put route boxes in for far off future services. So imminent stuff like the open access operators, CTRL stage 2, etc is OK, but stuff like the East London Line phase two (the extension over south London) is too far off. If the article is really well written and sufficiently long, and actually discuses future developments then maybe... Pickle 04:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- This is why we have tags regarding future rail developments. In the case of Wrexham & Shropshire all of the route boxes were added way before any approval was granted. It would be understandable not to include this information if it was all just rumour and speculation, which it is not. The purpose of Wikipedia is to inform, weather it is about the past, present or future. --Danielnez1 09:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
