Name of article
[edit]Is there a reason why the article is called VicRail N type carriage and not V/Line N type carriage? V/Line H type carriage has V/Line in its name. Was VicRail ever the name of V/Line when these carriages were introduced? Fork99 (talk) 16:04, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- I’ve moved the article. It seems like the N type and V/Line H type carriage were introduced just before VicRail was replaced by V/Line, and the H carriages already had V/Line in its name, so this is for consistency. Fork99 (talk) 21:52, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Fork99 incorrect, the H carriages entered service as VicRail was changing to V/Line, while the N carriages were in service with the Victorian Railways (who were training under the name VicRail) for 2 years before the change of ownership. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 02:34, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
- @ThylacineHunter: I thought that was what I said? Anywho thanks for the confirmation. Fork99 (talk) 02:37, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Fork99 the name change is incorrect. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 02:39, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
- @ThylacineHunter: Feel free to change it back then. Prior to today, there was no redirect from V/Line N type carriage, which I think is the name that most people on Wikipedia would remember off the top of their head and search for, or use in a wikilink if they forgot about the VicRail bit.

- By the way, how was this convention agreed upon in the past (i.e. can you give a link to where/when/how)? As I see it’s the same over in WA, they name trains by the original operator, however in NSW, we don’t do that (mostly). Fork99 (talk) 10:01, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
