Name of railway[edit]

I think this should read: "Swindon, Marlborough & Andover Railway" 82.21.65.109 22:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and I have added a Disputed tag. Biscuittin (talk) 21:10, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right to dispute this. The Marlborough and Grafton Railway (that way around, and no Swindon in the title) was the line built after an Act of 1893 to bridge the gap in the SMAR (by then M&SWJR) that entailed working over the GWR rails. The M&GR opened in 1898 and was incorporated into the M&SWJR in 1899. It's all pretty much explained in the article on Marlborough railway stations, and, when I get around to it, I'll do a similar job for the Savernake stations too. On the basis that it's wrong, someone should probably nominate this article for deletion. Johnlp (talk) 21:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-named the article and corrected the text. Biscuittin (talk) 15:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good. Well done for all the tidying up you have been doing. Johnlp (talk) 22:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merger[edit]

There have been no objections to merging with Midland and South Western Junction Railway so I will go ahead. Biscuittin (talk) 19:14, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
