"Smaller of the two"[edit]

Seeing as Bicester Town / Village is now a big two-platform station with a proper building, I'm not sure smaller of the two stations still applies. Tom walker (talk) 16:16, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- It is still currently the station with the least services and amount of destinations so in this case it is still the smaller of the two. Simply south ...... time, deparment skies for just 9 years 23:55, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 25 October 2015[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. The consensus is that the station has just been renamed, not that it is a new station. Jenks24 (talk) 05:08, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bicester Town railway station → Bicester Village railway station – The station has been renamed to Bicester Village railway station. [1] Commyguy (talk) 14:57, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, but considering the problems we've had at St Pancras railway station, this may not be as obvious a move as it seems. Tevildo (talk) 22:23, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The new station is relocated from the old one so it's more a case that Town station closed in 2014 and Village station opened in 2015. Crookesmoor (talk) 09:53, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Whether that is the case or not, it was improper for you to pre-empt the outcome of this discussion. I have reverted your edits to both pages. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:13, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The station has not closed and it has not been relocated. It has been rebuilt and has reopened under a new name but with it's former station code meaning it is the same station. The original plans didn't include a name change however Chiltern Railways voted to change the name whilst reconstruction was underway earlier this year.

Support - clear case and I have proposed a histmerge anyway. Simply south ...... time, deparment skies for just 9 years 16:31, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No need for a histmerge, since nothing of any importance was added to either page after the copypaste - just the merge templates and an unnecessary hatnote that was both malformed and misplaced. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:13, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I will still say same rebuilt station. Simply south ...... time, deparment skies for just 9 years 22:13, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say it wasn't the same station. What I said was that the content added to Bicester Village railway station did not expand upon the content in Bicester Town railway station and so no preservation of history is necessary. Indeed, merging the histories would be detrimental since both pages have been edited in parallel and so two consecutive versions would look rather strange as a normal diff. See WP:HISTMERGE#Parallel versions. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:50, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't saying you weren't. I was just listing my support reasion although I guess I should have been clearer. Simply south ...... time, deparment skies for just 9 years 23:52, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - per the linked BBC article it's the same station location with a new name. Mackensen (talk) 21:58, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Usage 2014/15[edit]

Could someone with access to the data check this figure? It doesn't look right. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:10, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's right. The line was closed for much of 2014/2015. You can check for yourself here www.orr.gov.uk/statistics/published-stats/station-usage-estimates Ingafube (talk) 11:18, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
