I'll take a look at this nomination - I don't have much experience reviewing the GANs, so I may need some time to study all relevant info. I'll do the review as carefully as possible though.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:44, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

All GA criteria are met. To be honest, I expected a high-quality article and I was not let down in my expectations. I regret there's not an image to illustrate the article beyond the route map and none are to be found at the Commons. Since this creates a situation conforming to note 7 of the WP:WIAGA, absence of images (apart from the map) is not an obstacle to GA promotion. Hopefully images will become available in the future.

Other aspects of the article are all good - the article covers the topic comprehensively while remaining focused, and properly referenced. There are no apparent OR or copyvios, and the subject matter is presented in a neutral way. Furthermore, the article is MoS compliant, particularly in terms of the WP:LEAD, RJL and the infobox, unit conversions... The article edit history bears evidence that the article is quite stable.

All in all this is a fine article, meeting all the GA criteria, so I am passing the article!--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:22, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
