Northern Line[edit]

I've put back the link as Northern Line (Merseyrail). The fact that the line is in the north of England isn't the point: the name is sufficiently vague that it could be anywhere, so appending "Merseyrail" gives a succinct geographical description of where it is. How is the casual reader supposed to know that it's not in, say, Sheffield? --RFBailey 20:44, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warrington Link Line[edit]

Hey all, does anyone actually know the route of this line. I've tried asking on a railway group and they've never heard of it, they've ionly heard of a "Warrington Direct Line", any help would be appreciated DannyM 12:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wirral[edit]

Do Wirral Tramway and the miniature railway at Royden Park count as railways for this template?--Darrelljon (talk) 18:46, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
