Articles for creation

There is a discussion at Talk:Dundas railway station, Sydney regarding renaming former Carlingford line heavy rail stations to light rail stops/stations, and about creating individual light rail stop articles. Marcnut1996 (talk) 07:51, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcnut1996: Thanks for posting here. I was unaware of this discussion. Steelkamp (talk) 10:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have started two discussions recently:

Talk:Light rail in Sydney#Articles for light rail stations cont. about making articles for individual light rail stations (as have previously existed and exist in other cities)
Talk:Sydney Trains#Integration of light rail in interchange stations about integrating light rail services into heavy rail station articles (as exists in Britain)

I came accross Category:Easy Access railway stations in New South Wales and Category:Easy Access railway stations in Sydney but it is unclear what "Easy Access" means or its significance. I am guessing it means accessible but then why the capitalisation? I couldn't find the term in Wikipedia or in a brief look on transport NSW's website. It was possibly an old upgrade program, but there isn't a non-Easy Access category. If anyone feels like opening a rename discussion go for it.

@Commander Keane: I believe that it was a NSW Government program to make more stations wheelchair accessible, however, the current overarching project name for increasing public transport infrastructure accessibility in NSW is called the Transport Access Program. I honestly have no idea if these two categories meet Wikipedia's guidelines for categorisation / if they are examples of overcategorisation either. Fork99 (talk) 05:28, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
