Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was merge Camerton branch into Bristol and North Somerset Railway. -- David Bailey 12:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is much point duplicating the diagram and information on the Camerton branch page, and so therefore suggest merging Camerton branch into this page. David Bailey 15:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, so long as there are references to and from the Somerset Coal Canal article, and cross checks to the village articles for Camerton, Paulton, Midford, Dunkerton etc. Johnlp 00:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to leave this proposal up for two weeks before actioning the merge. That should give everyone an opportunity to comment. David Bailey 12:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Another source for construction and opening[edit]

I see this article is undergoing some improvement and I decided to work on an article for the Pensford Viaduct (currently in my sandbox). In the process I came across this article about the opening dated 6 September 1873, which may be of use.— Rod ^talk 20:31, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Planned heritage railway[edit]

@Geof Sheppard: Please see Bristol and North Somerset Railway#Future potential reopening. It is not yet a heritage railway, but it is considered as a future heritage railway and as such it is mentioned in the Template:Heritage railways in England under Planned railways. Peter Horn User talk 16:35, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter Horn: This edit won't notify Geof Sheppard (talk · contribs). It needs to be a new post, not a modification to an existing one. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:09, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64: In other words a new article and a revision of the template? Peter Horn User talk 14:12, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter Horn: I'm not talking about an article or even the template. I'm talking about your attempt to notify Geof Sheppard, which will have failed. I shall demonstrate: in this edit I am making exactly the same initial error (a missing brace) that you made in this post. It won't have notified you, as you knew. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:52, 7 December 2016 (UTC) Redrose64 (talk) 19:54, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter Horn: In this edit I amended my post in exactly the same way that you did in this edit, and my edit will not have notified you, for precisely the same reason that your edit will not have notified Geof Sheppard. However, this edit will have notified you, because it is entirely new. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:01, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
