Cleanup

I added the cleanup tag because the list of principle destinations is in a bit of a mess. I tried fixing it myself but I couldn't get it to work mh. 00:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Done a little bit of tinkering on the formatting, but left the clean-up tag as I think it could still do with some work on the conent Biscit 11:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Route diagram

The section "Bradford - Halifax" appears to include much more detail than is on the route diagram. Should the diagram be updated to show the other lines and stations even if they are disused now? Keith D (talk) 12:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to add more detail, as I did for Template:Penistone Line, otherwise the route is no better than that on the WYPTE web site. Some other lines in the UK (such as Template:South Western Main Line) include this information already. However I'm new to this, so I don't want to step on any toes :) Scillystuff (talk) 21:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Update

I have made a start on an update. Northern Sparks report added with cite and I will also add IRP GRALISTAIR (talk) 19:23, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

COPYVIO?

The route section of this article is very odd. The long bullet lists have multiple entries stating "here was x" and "here was y". It looks very much like this unreferenced content is actually a copy/paste from another work. A quick google doesn't reveal what that work is, but without supporting references I propose to remove it edit-down/refactor/restyle within the near future. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:07, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Surely a few short bullet points that can be edited don't constitute a massive copyvio, if you could even find where they might be from. Rcsprinter123 (yarn) 17:07, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes, except it's several subsections in the article, so it's a lot of text. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:15, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't think it's a copyvio, more likely some railway aficionado who knows the route very well. Lots of northern railway articles are like this (see Harrogate line for instance). Are you proposing that we insert cites to state these places existed/exist, or that it is too unwieldy for an article? Ta and regards. The joy of all things (talk) 17:47, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

What does the CVL encompass?

I think we need to decide what is on this line and what isn't. There is a statement on the page that Today, Hebden Bridge and Leeds are the only stations where every service calls, the route description follows. If we go by the map then this is patently untrue as all services will have to reverse at Bradford, and call there to set down and pick-up passengers. However the map does not show the section through Mirfield from Wakefield, which isn't part of the Calder Valley line proper, but CVL services do use it. Further problems are images of trains passing Mirfield, which again, according to the map isn't on the CVL. The Northern timetable does list the services through Mirfield/Huddersfield etc, but no map. Calderdale council consider the CVL to be the same as the map on the article page, but shows the additional services through Mirfield etc. Thoughts? Is this just a simple mapping upgrade? Regards.
