  • I've amended the list since your vote to feature the link I think you wanted; please confirm you're still happy. --Tagishsimon 12:15, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Yeah, that's better. For Ireland, I've added a redirect requirement for the Republic to the whole island. Duncharris 12:36, Apr 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • This does not appear to be the current situation.Bobblewik 00:43, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • I think this makes most sense, and would be more logical than the other suggestions. John 14:16, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would vote for this plan if last item read:
Rail transport in the United Kingdom - page explains current situation is split between two linked pages: Rail transport in Great Britain & Rail transport in Ireland
(avoids needless redirect from Rail transport in Northern Ireland) -- Picapica 11:48, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Same as Plan B except that the top level concept is division by nation state. See how the reference to Ireland has changed. There may be references within each page to how rail is connected to neighbours. There may be references within each page to how rail was arranged when the borders of the nation state different. This is the same situation as there is with other nation states whose geopolitics have changed over time such as the United States, Germany, Poland, France etc.

  • IÉ stands for Iarnród Éireann. Second page desc. should read, 'IRL in UK, IFS, ROI and NI'. (pre-1922 Ireland in UK, Irish Free State, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) - Zoney 11:35, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Not sure I follow the second bit of this comment ... if the description on Plan 1 is wrong, would you mind amending it so we're clear what we're supporting / not supporting. thanks - --Tagishsimon
  • I don't agree with a concept that does not start with current nation states. Bobblewik 00:38, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Would vote for this plan if last item read:
History of rail transport in the United Kingdom - page explains current situation is split between two linked pages: History of rail transport in Great Britain & History of rail transport in Ireland
