Talk:Thorington railway station

Thorrington has two r's

Didn't want to change it if it was 'wrong' for a reason, but Thorrington has two r's. Its right in the text, but the page title is wrong, and noticed it wrong on the Alresford rail page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.72.68.66 (talk) 16:21, 16 June 2011

The thing is, the only reliable sources that we currently have, i.e.

• Butt, R. V. J. (October 1995). The Directory of Railway Stations: details every public and private passenger station, halt, platform and stopping place, past and present (1st ed.). Sparkford: Patrick Stephens Ltd. p. 228. ISBN 978-1-85260-508-7. OCLC 60251199. OL 11956311M.
• Conolly, W. Philip (1976). British Railways Pre-Grouping Atlas and Gazetteer (5th ed.). Shepperton: Ian Allan. p. 12, section E4. ISBN 0 7110 0320 3. EX/0176. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)

both spell it as "Thorington". It's not unknown for a railway station to use a different spelling from the place after which it was named. If you can find a reliable source that spells the name of the station as "Thorrington", please provide it here. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:46, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

How about an Ordnance Survey map, now out of copyright? --EdLoach 22:38, 31 October 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.154.137.123 (talk)

Or another source - The London Gazette, 5 April 1927 --EdLoach 23:18, 31 October 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.154.137.123 (talk)

Is the evidence reasonably clear that the station has two valid spellings? This isn't unknown, my favourite local example is village of Campsea Ashe (or is it Campsea Ash) in Suffolk and I believe that there is also a 3rd spelling for the place which appears on at least one old road-sign. As such should we just acknowledge both spellings in the lead? PeterEastern (talk) 13:07, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Further to my comments of yesterday, there is a one R spelling on an old road sign --EdLoach 13:54, 1 November 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.154.137.123 (talk)
