[edit] Merger/Move

My reasoning is that all the stations together are effectively one large interchange.

Just for my clarification: I think you're saying merge the tube station and the railway station articles, and rename the whole thing to "West Hampstead station"?Lisamh 01:00, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Can the stations be reached from each other directly without traversing the street? If yes, I'd go for a merge. If not, they should be treated as separate stations that happen to be very close to each other and share the same name, especially as they're shown as separate stations on maps.

I note that the result of the debate listed at Talk:West Hampstead railway station was not to move. The three stations are separate and have no direct interchange without leaving one and using the street to reach another. see Multimap here for clarification. The rail and tube articles should remain as separate articles keeping the cross reference between them. It could be argued that the two rail stations should have their own articles but as there is only a small amount of information in the Thameslink one it is probably not worth making the effort to split the existing article.

I have created a disambiguation article at West Hampstead station, which would be the usual naming form for a joint tube/rail station. DavidCane 19:43, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

To Lisamh, yes that was what i was originally proposing.

Everyone, the reason for the possible merger now was because of plans drawn up and prposed for the merger of all 4 stations (including a new one on the Chiltern and Metropolitan Lines). I suppose this was too early. Simply south 20:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
