Discussion[edit]

Add any additional comments:
  • Based on the articles, there is no conflict. The company is Midland Mainline and the line itself is Midland Main Line. At least this is the way they are named and described in the intros of the articles. Vegaswikian 03:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • In a way, i was following the convention of Thameslink and [[Thameslink (train operating company). Simply south 09:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's not a convention. For a dab, you should use the shortest phrase that makes sense. In that case, I think it should have been Thameslink (company). However the convention says to use the full name instead of a dab. So it probably should have been something like Thameslink PLC. In any case this article should not follow a bad precedent.

      • What is Midland Main Line Limited? Is that the correct name of the company or the line. If it is the company name, then moving the article to Midland Main Line Limited might be a good move. Vegaswikian 22:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

xx25 to Sheffield[edit]

Having recently travelled on this service, it seems to now be operated by a Class 222 rather than the Class 43 stated. Cordless Larry 22:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the services are operated by a Class 222 and some by Class 43. Its a mix. Year1989 11:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Refs .... 5 ... should have every para with a ref. But still "C" well done Victuallers (talk) 09:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Project Rio[edit]

The whole point of the name is because Rio Ferdinand had moved from Leeds United to Manchester United, this being the same reallocation of the trains, from a Leeds to London service to a Manchester to London service, either have the full point in there, or make no refference to it, don't have half a story and then delete the full explanation when it's written.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.203.254.2 (talk) 23:23, 23 May 2011

It's an item which some people may well be sceptical about, so must be referenced, per our policy on verifiability. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:28, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the refference for the following: This service was known as Project Rio, named after the footballer Rio Ferdinand who had made a record transfer to Manchester United Football Club. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.203.254.2 (talk) 21:13, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't one. That is why I've slapped a {{unreferenced|section}} at the top of the section. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:30, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 10 May 2024[edit]

Midland Mainline → Midland Mainline (company) – I feel as though that the Midland Mainline company is defunct for a long while, I think that it should redirect to Midland Main Line. Various sources use 'mainline' rather than 'main line'. Mainline= BBC railadvent railforums UK west bridgeford wire another BBC the business desk google scholars 338 results vs 500 results for midland main line I know that WP:SMALLDETAILS apply, but almost all mention of Midland Mainline refer to the railway than the (former/defunct) railway company. Plus my google search (even though im in UK, using the google.co.uk URL) comes with 'midland mainline' first. Do note that google no longer provides how many search results at least for me.

  • Oppose "(company)" - if this needs disambiguation it should use the standard "(train operating company)" (c.f. Thameslink (train operating company), Valley Lines (train operating company)) but I'm weakly unconvinced of the benefit. Thryduulf (talk) 10:38, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I don't believe it needs dab but if it does it should follow the normal format as per Thryduulf (talk · contribs)'s point. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 10:52, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    have a look at WP:SMALLDETAILS. it says that: a well-known concept may still be the primary topic for a variant or incorrect spelling, even if a much less well-known subject uses that spelling:
    • Cold war redirects to Cold War, with the broad concept discussed at Cold war (term)
    • Gray Poupon redirects to Grey Poupon; an album of that name is at Gray Poupon (album)
    It's normally a hit or miss but almost all sources within the last several years saying 'Midland Mainline' refer to the railway line than the company. Even the BBC (a reliable source) uses Midland mainline sometimes. But anyways, if anyone prefers (train operating company) as the dab, thats fine with me.
