Here is a non-exhaustive list of tasks to improve this article (I will work through these myself gradually, but of course anyone is welcome to help):
Hello all!
This article has been chosen as this week's effort for WP:Discord's #team-b-vital channel, a collaborative effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to WP:Articles for Improvement. This effort will run for up to seven days, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve. Articles are chosen by a quick vote among interested chatters, with the goal of working together on interesting Vital articles that need improving.

Because Swansea and Mumbles Railway claims 1807 for carrying passengers.©Geni (talk) 17:13, 29 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Should probably cover the first diesel engine and first underground railway. Also the wind down of steam. Possibly the impact on troop mobilisation speed.©Geni (talk) 00:05, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Should probably mention:
In general though I'm not sure how much art is reliant on things being a passenger train. Equally it would be brutally tough to write this section without it effectively being a TVtropes style list.©Geni (talk) 00:02, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
The sentence "Passenger trains travel across stations or depots, where passengers may board and disembark." does not appear grammatically correct to me. Across means "from one side to the other" while between means "at, into, or across the space separating". The wording with "across" implies trains travel from one side to the other of the same train station. Surely it is beyond argument that a passenger train stops at at least two different train stations (excluding some heritage trains)? As such, in order to go from one station to the other, the passenger train would have to travel between the two stations? I would support a compromise wording of "Passenger trains stop at stations and depots, where passengers may board and disembark."

Just a heads-up that as part of an editathon I'm leading on June 17, new editors might be making some edits to this article. I'll be following up shortly afterwards to check for copyright compliance and other quality issues and will clean up stuff if needed. Cheers, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 23:15, 12 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
