ROF Chorley Closure

The article states that "...Royal Ordnance Factory site, ROF Chorley, on the Preston to Manchester line, which closed shortly after World War II."

The ROF Chorley page has different information, implying that the site (as a factory) closed after WWIi and the Preston to Manchester rail line is very much open (apart from at the moment when there are some rail engineering works going on!).

Sugest this needs clarifying by someone more familar with the situation.

It refers to the station, not the line. I have added "the station" to clarify as it was ambiguous, changed the date to match the ROF Chorley article and replaced {{dubious}} with {{fact}}; a source is still needed. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 19:13, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Balshaw Lane & Euxton station

I have deleted the reference to it being the "youngest station in Lancashire" as there are others that have opened since including Horwich Parkway opening in 1999.[[Steamybrian2 (talk) 16:26, 9 December 2009 (UTC)]][reply]

Horwich Parkway railway station is in Greater Manchester; others I can find are all in Merseyside: Lea Green (opened 2000), Liverpool South Parkway (2006, although partly on the site of an existing station) and a few opened in 1998 that may have been earlier or later in the year. snigbrook (talk) 16:43, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leyland incident

Worth nothing the fire that occured in Leyland and Virgin Train's emergency revolving the labouring woman; where the train was forced to terminate here on the 21st? Tez011 (talk) 17:59, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it is sourced, maybe: but is terminating a train here a significant event in the history of the station? See also WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:32, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check the Evening Post Archives, and this station was a major part of the event. Your call. Tez011 (talk) 18:55, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which Evening Post? I doubt that you mean the Yorkshire Evening Post. Can you provide a link to a webpage actually mentioning the incident? See WP:BURDEN. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He/she must mean the Lancashire Evening Post and this story. I don't think this passes the 10-year test: would anyone care about this in 10 years' time? -- Dr Greg talk 23:07, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In short, no. There's WP:RECENTISM and WP:NOTNEWS to look at too. It's a quirky story, but not for the article itself doktorb _words^deeds 08:29, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
