Pembrey and Burry Port railway station → Pembrey & Burry Port railway station – Station is named with ampersand per Great Western Railway and National Rail thus article name should reflect per MOS:&. Madditron (talk) 01:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Common usage seems mixed, WP:NCUKSTATIONS says to go with the name used on the station platforms however I while I can say for certain the station used "and" in 1971 more modern photos are ambiguous. I haven't found any later than August 2021, and they show some signs with "&" and some with "and". Incidentally those that use "and" spell the first word of the Welsh name "Pen-bre" while those using "&" spell it "Penbre". Thryduulf (talk) 09:50, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, you missed Transport for Wales the actual operator of the station, online they used both [1] "and" when discussing the station but "&" when using it on passenger displays. If Thryduulf is correct on in-person use, which seems supported by these two images [2] [3] ATW and I guess TfW are also undecided on the platforms. Although TfW is slowly changing signage at its stations, so hopefully if they do it soon or have already done it, the new signage be hopefully more consistent.

Oppose. Ampersands are generally best expanded unless they are exclusively used. See WP:AMPERSAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:18, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Ampersands are so 2005. Irrespective of what the official name is I don't see the benefit or value having "&" over "and" - Means the same thing and does the same job. –Davey2010^Talk 23:29, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - since TfW itself doesn't consistently use & and it's not part of a trademark, I don't see why it should be changed in the article title. It makes sense that & would be used on passenger displays, to save space. Suntooooth (talk) 00:36, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
