Is this page necessary?

[edit]

Personally I don't see what this page achieves, other than as a repository of out of date information. With the number of locos that visit other lines for gala events etc, a list such as this is unlikely to be maintained - especially with the current status of engines that may have visited many years ago. Maybe just a text list on the main railway page, and delete this? Mwsmith20 (talk) 11:02, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see that @Danners430 has done what I wasn't bold enough to do, which is remove the unsourced list of short term / gala visiting locos - thank you for doing that. I have ambitions to update / improve what remains, and move it into the Rolling stock of the Watercress Line article, if I can similarly reduce the current excessive scope of that page. I'm seeking views on the way forward for that - see Talk:Rolling stock of the Watercress Line - I'd welcome any opinions / comments / assistance. Mwsmith20 (talk) 13:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
