"Possible bus routes"

I am deleting the section listing possible bus routes serving the proposed Miami Central Station because it is both speculation and unlikely given the current configuration of the suggested routes (route 37 already serves the Tri-Rail station and is likely to be the only one to enter the proposed station - if there are other routes going there, it would likely be the 42 and the J, both of which serve LeJeune Road).

phases out of order?

Phase I of the station, which includes the opening of MIA Mover and the Metrorail portion of the rail station, is scheduled to open in June 2012. Phase II, which entails the completion and opening of the Tri-Rail commuter rail and Amtrak rail services, is scheduled for completion and opening in 2011.

So, uh, Phase II is going to be finished before Phase I? --Jfruh (talk) 22:46, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

The Miami Airport (Tri-Rail station) and Miami Central Station will be using the exact same tracks in the exact same location. Under the current setup, it looks like they are two different locations with operations transfering from one location to another, instead of a redevelopment of the same site.

I suggest moving them into the same article, along the lines of St Pancras railway station, Cannon Street station and Pennsylvania Station (New York City) where it details the history of former stuctures at the sites, redevelopment and future plans. - Aalox (Say Hello • My Work) 15:30, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that as it's all one large station w/different tracks for different systems. La Fuzion (talk) 21:56, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Too much FEC history

I'm not sure what the history of the FEC in Miami has to do with this station. This is not an article on the history of rail travel in Miami. The FEC station in downtown Miami was demolished almost 8 years before Amtrak came into being, and what little FEC passenger service was left after that came to a halt in 1968. The Seaboard Air Line/Seaboard Coast Line is a bit more relevant inasmuch as Amtrak uses former Seaboard tracks and used the Seaboard terminal up until 1977. I would delete the FEC information, and indicate only the station's direct predecessors. Jhw57 (talk) 12:18, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 20:52, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Miami Intermodal Center Merger

I just merged Miami Intermodal Center into Miami Central Station. Miami Intermodal Center has had 14 edits in the last 4 years, almost no love compared to over 200 for Miami Central Station. Also, Miami Central Station has already been written to include a fair bit of information that is probably more part of the Intermodal Center. Being that it is pretty much one building, and in the public's eye one place, I was bold and merged the article. I look forward to feedback and any editing excitement this merger creates. - Aalox (Say Hello • My Work) 14:03, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed a previous 5 to 6 year old merger proposal dating back 2008/2009 here Talk:Miami Intermodal Center. - Aalox (Say Hello • My Work) 14:05, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New Miami Central Station

I would like to propose that all references to "Miami Central" and "Miami Central Station" be dropped on this page. All Aboard Florida, FEC's private venture from Miami to Florida is using the name MiamiCentral for their downtown terminus^[1].

All signboards in Miami are showing "Miami Airport Station" only, with no public references to the intermodal station being called "Miami Central" any more. "Miami International Airport" is used by the Miami-Dade Metrorail^[2]^[3].

I don't know how to do it, but Miami Central Station needs to renamed "Miami Airport Station" and "Miam Central Station" moved to an unlinked disambiguation reference until the page can be dedicated to the AAF operation.

When Amtrak moves to Miami Airport Station, they will use the same name as well. At that time, "Miami Airport Station (Amtrak)" should be created. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiktok4321 (talk • contribs) 21:00, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tiktok4321: To rename an article, you can use the process at Wikipedia:Requested moves, or move it yourself with the "Move" link under the "More" dropdown menu. Conifer (talk) 02:11, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Miami Airport Station

Requested move 10 September 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 16:22, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Miami Central Station → Miami Airport Station – As previously mentioned, all signage at the station calls it Miami Airport. There is no reference to Miami Central anywhere at the station. Plus, the new All Aboard Florida station in downtown Miami will be called MiamiCentral. 71.54.11.73 (talk) 07:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 17:51, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support if only for WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION to distinguish from the new MiamiCentral station, covered at All Aboard Florida.--Cúchullain ^t/c 13:31, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lengthening of the platforms

Once there's said that the platforms are currently being extended to match AMTRAK trains but then there's said that they won't and instead road traffic will be temporarily blocked. So wich one is it? --MrEnglish (talk) 22:43, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MrEnglish: I believe they are routing traffic or changing the road somewhat (25th Street I believe) so that it will have to be closed of course, but that will cause less of an impact. Already, this is not a very busy road. 21st Street to the south is busier and is beyond the "normal" end of the track anyway. But given the Consist details (Star) of the trains (Meteor), which is confusing but I make out that it's no more than 10 or 11 85 feet (25.9 m) cars (935 feet (285.0 m)), should be enough room in the 1,000 feet (305 m)+ between 21 and 25 Streets, provided both engines are not at the south end. B137 (talk) 14:18, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A year later the station still isn't open to Amtrak. They are pretty much done with the new detour road crossing to get around the closed (when Amtrak trains are in) 25th Street. B137 (talk) 22:27, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is a rumor that Amtrak might just abandon the new station? B137 (talk) 04:06, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 11 November 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. per discussion. (non-admin closure) –Ammarpad (talk) 19:01, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Miami Airport Station → Miami Intermodal Center – Miami Airport Station is one of the two main components of the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) (the other being the rental car center), and the article covers both. Also, the facility is primarily referred to as MIC on the official website. Jackdude101 ^talk ^cont 16:31, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Support I support this move 100%. I have been meaning to change this. The article really should be the "Miami Intermodal Center". The Miami Intermodal Center is the bigger entity with the airport station being a part of it. This makes things more organized.--SeminoleNation (talk) 20:08, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Article seems to be about the Miami Intermodal Centre so title should reflect that. --Woofboy (talk) 03:58, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
