High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

penzance?

Latest comment: 20 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article's lead sentence says the line runs from St. Erth to St. Ives, but the table of stations says it runs from Penzance to St. Ives. One is correct for the physical branch, the other for train services. Is there a policy for this sort of thing for branch lines? I'm going to make them consistent by deleting Penzance from the table, but would have no objection of someone added it back and adjusted the wording of the lead, if that was felt better. 207.176.159.90 07:47, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Signalling

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article used to have some interesting information in it on the unusual way the line was signalled. What happened to it? The article history makes no mention of it suggesting that the history itself has been edited (a not unknown occurence). The info was definitely there a few months ago.

Logical Sequence

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I think the introduction needs to be made more helpful for the general reader; the article is fine for the railway enthusiast, but everyone else will want something up front -- before the enthusiasts' detailed stuff. I'll add this if no-one has any comments.Afterbrunel (talk) 13:10, 29 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

A lead section should reflect and sumarise the contents of the article, but feel free to revise it. Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:46, 2 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

St Ives Bay Line → St Ives Bay line – Cross-article consistency per WP:UKT/NC-L; the official name is the St Ives Bay line according to GWR. JacobTheRox^{(talk | contributions)} 11:55, 30 August 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. ASUKITE 15:40, 6 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Line naming conventions are currently being discussed by the UK Railways Project. Any change should be avoided until there is a conclusion to that discussion.

While GWR do currently use both 'St Ives Bay line' and 'ST IVES BAY LINE' in its timetables, ten years ago they used 'St Ives Bay Line'. If in doubt I always fall back on full capitalisation as it is a proper noun. Geof Sheppard (talk) 17:11, 30 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

"Line" isn't a proper noun; St Ives Bay is. Otherwise every Wikipedia article about an individual thing would have to be in title case. JacobTheRox^{(talk | contributions)} 17:32, 30 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Strong oppose, the large majority of sources as far as I can see use the uppercase 'Line'. G-13114 (talk) 21:35, 30 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per above. I don't oppose creating a redirect from St Ives Bay line, though. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 17:21, 6 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
Oppose as above 10mmsocket (talk) 20:57, 6 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
Oppose official documentation and publicity has generally used a capitalised 'Line', including the St Ives Bay Line Community Rail Partnership and Devon and Cornwall's Great Scenic Railways. Geof Sheppard (talk) 06:21, 7 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
