LNER Disambiguation Proposal

Both this page and the original LNER (1923-1947) have the abbreviation LNER, however typing LNER into Wikipedia redirects you to the original. As the new LNER will soon become a current company, wouldn't it be better to create a disambiguation page for ease of access. Lancashire2789 (talk) 15:09, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and it's already at LNER (disambiguation). We do not need a disambiguation at LNER, as there is clear historical primacy. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:32, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, since the page LNER has been a redirect for over fourteen years, any repurposing of that page must be discussed at WP:RFD first. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:05, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Named services

Reading this article earlier today/yesterday, I was incredibly confused by the bizarre practice -- notwithstanding its rather minimal "prose" justification -- of not listing the named services in the tables with the rest of the services. (The complete absence of the Inverness service was particularly confusing.) I then looked at the page source and saw the HTML comments imploring editors that they should not include them -- such hidden notices to editors are passive-aggressive and should only be used in cases of repeated violations of Wikipedia policy, not what appears to be a single editor's preferences. By all means include a list of named services, but to the average reader it is far more helpful if this information is not arbitrarily segregated into a different subsection. I have followe WP:BOLD and made the tables complete, as well as removing all of those hidden comments. Before anyone reverts this, I suggest they discuss it here (and with a better justification than "I don't like it"). --RFBailey (talk) 03:51, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it does indeed make more sense to include the named services in the main table while also having a separate table detailing them. As long as it is made clear in the second table that these services are included in the first. Garuda3 (talk) 12:51, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
