Exeter railway station currently links to a railway station in Australia btw. Someone should correct the links. I'm not sure where too though. G-13114 (talk) 01:01, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where in this article is this link? I can't find it. Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:58, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bristol to Exeter LineBristol to Exeter line – Downcase per WP:NCCAPS; sources mostly do not cap it. Optionally, say if you prefer to use the symmetric dashed version Bristol–Exeter line (or Bristol and Exeter line) rather than "to" between place names.

Evidence in sources

Please examine the searches, see if there is a common name, whether the dashed version is preferred, and whether caps are preferred. It is my impression that there is no proper name here and that the dashed form, or the equivalent symmetric "Bristol and Exeter line", is more common (and more logical and more consistent with other such lines).

Updates required

[edit]

I have started updates. Electrification of GWML to Parkway etc has already happened GRALISTAIR (talk) 00:42, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Goods Yards status

[edit]

I do not think the yard for Hinckley Point C is the only operational yard. Freightliner's Bristol Railport is on this line as well. ValkyrieVP (talk) 17:58, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed GRALISTAIR (talk) 18:00, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The current status (by original research) is
  • Bristol Railport - occaisional traffic at the former container terminal (Freightliner)
  • Bridgwater - regular nuclear waste traffic (Direct Rail Services)
  • Fairwater (Taunton) - engineer's traffic (mostly Frieghtliner)
  • Exeter Riverside - sporadic aggregates traffic from Whatley Quarry (Freightliner)
