Linslade Tunnel ↗



Hi! I appreciate your efforts to improve that article. Some of the information you've added isn't supported by the existing references (I have copies of most of them). Can you add the source of your information? Thanks, <b style="color: teal; font-family: Tahoma">HJ&nbsp;Mitchell</b> &#124; <span style="color: navy; font-family: Times New Roman" title="(Talk page)">Penny for your thoughts?</span> 18:53, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

:Biddle's entry for the Watford tunnels gives the date of the second twin-track bore and how until it was built the goods trains ran through the original bore. All the other tunnels are two twin-tracks. I've uploaded to Wikimedia the photo https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LeightonStation1865_small_02.jpg in preparation for adding it to the article on Leighton Buzzard station. It shows the tracks and platforms after the 1859 reconfiguration but before the addition of the third tunnel bore (the station name implies that it's before Dunstable North station was opened, hence 1865). From this photo it's clear that after 1865 they added a further pair of tracks to the west, as can be seen by looking at a large-scale map, e.g. https://maps.nls.uk/view/229947771, or the track diagram on p.88 of Simpson.

Hammersmith Bridge#Structural problems ↗



As in the above thread, you have just created a paragraph in this article without citing ↗ a suitable reliable source ↗. Could you please cite the source you used; this is essential for verification ↗. The rule is that every paragraph has a citation at its end, at least. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:08, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

:Actually the material repeats what the article already covers, so let's not do that; I've tweaked the section heading to indicate the (more recent) limited scope of the section. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:11, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
::I'm fine with your edit. I was just documenting that the structural problems have been there for 100 years at least. I'm not sure that "Renewed structural problems" is correct: "Worsening structural problems" perhaps? RobertSimons (talk) 07:28, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Vauxhall Bridge



Most Londoners know that public transport uses a simplified direction system based on just the four cardinal points. Trains and buses travel either east-west or north-south, regardless of the physical direction at any particular point. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 14:11, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
