Terminus

edit

It seems a bit odd putting the terminus label in "following station" with the next station along the line as "preceding". It is, of course, true in some sense; but would it not be more logical to swap these around, as they seem to be for most other termini (both ends of the brighton line: Victoria or Brighton for example)? In other words make it look like this:

Preceding station   National Rail Following station
Selhurst   Southern
Sutton & Mole Valley Line
  Waddon
Norwood Junction   Southern
London Victoria to Sutton via Crystal Palace
 
Terminus   Southern
London Bridge to West Croydon
  Selhurst
Preceding station    London Overground Following station
Terminus Windrush line
East London line
Norwood Junction
Preceding station   Tramlink Following station
Centrale
One-way operation
Tramlink
Wimbledon to Beckenham Junction
Wellesley Road
Tramlink
Wimbledon to Elmers End
Wellesley Road
towards Elmers End
Tramlink
New Addington to Croydon town centre
Wellesley Road
Disused railways
Terminus   Network SouthEast
West Croydon to Wimbledon Line
  Waddon Marsh

Which is like saying (for example) "London Overground services leave here for Norwood Junction on their way to Dalston Junction" rather than that "London Overground services from Dalston Junction terminate here having just passed through Norwood Junction".

It seems more natural to me but I didn't change it in case there is a convention that I'm missing. Bagunceiro (talk) 12:57, 5 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

The wall in the photo File:Accident at West Croydon station, October 1948.png does not appear to be 6 foot thick (which would be a very thick wall.©Geni (talk) 23:04, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
