Station articles

Thanks so much for your work on creating new station articles and overhauling old ones! Every time I catch the Australind I've wanted to get articles on all the stations on that line but didn't have the sources to write them myself, and it's lovely to see them suddenly appearing (and others too).

Many thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately cites on WA stations do seem a bit thin on the ground. Did seem a bit unbalanced that current timetable cites aside, even Perth station only had 2 cites given its rich history. Likewise the absence for an article on an important station like Albany seems odd, given that every country halt that ever was in Victoria seems to have an article. Guess it comes down to attracting editors with the right information. Coorwrold (talk) 03:16, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

I've got some photos of Albany station lying around from the last time I was down there if needed. I really should jump on Trove and see what I can dig up for some of those older stations - I was a bit stranded for so many of those on the Australind because they've nearly all been demolished and rebuilt in recent times.
