Misleading termini

[edit]

The routebox at the bottom says this will be part of North Link and that the terminus in one direction is Northgate Station, the terminus in the other direction is University of Washington Station. This is misleading and technically not correct for Lynnwood, since Mountlake Terrace to the south is heading towards both termini, and Alderwood leads to neither. I suggest we should change the Northgate terminus so that it's 164th/Ash Way, or consider everything north of Northgate (including Lynnwood) as part of a separate "extension" line. 71.231.76.242 (talk) 03:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Same person as above, different IP now) So the problem is that Lynnwood Station is not actually part of "North Link", it is part of a separate project called the "North Corridor HCT", which runs from Northgate to Lynnwood. We will have to make a new set of templates for the rail succession boxes for this project, and probably a new article and routing template too. If anyone can do this, that would be great, since there seems to be few people interested in working on these articles here. 71.113.38.220 (talk) 04:56, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The line has apparently ben re-renamed; I've been maintaining the Northgate Link Extension articles a bit, I think stuff is up to date now. — Brianhe (talk) 18:57, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    References 1 and 3 were fixed (the site was redesigned without redirects after the GAN was submitted); reference 8 isn't dead or likely to die soon, might you have not seen the blurb for the article near the bottom? SounderBruce 00:34, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 7 September 2024

[edit]

Lynnwood Transit Center → Lynnwood City Center station – Name should reflect the station's actual name, capitalization of "station" is contingent on the discussion at Talk:Symphony station (Sound Transit) LinkLightRail (talk) 04:09, 7 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.  ASUKITE 16:51, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose – Sources are inconsistent in their use of the new light rail station name or the older bus station name. Until it becomes much clearer, the status quo is less of a headache to maintain. SounderBruce 04:40, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Local transit centers are rarely notable on their own. In neighboring King county, the only transit centers that have dedicated articles are present or future train stations. Old revisions of this article show that this transit center would not be notable without a train station.
    Now that the station is open, the title should be updated accordingly. This is no different than the many other non-notable transit centers (see above link) attached to a notable train station. LinkLightRailFan (talk) 06:58, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: WikiProject Rapid transit, WikiProject Seattle, and WikiProject Trains have been notified of this discussion. ASUKITE 16:50, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: Note that the discussion mentioned was closed as "not moved", so if we are basing this off of that (which isn't necessarily always the case, but consistency is always nice), then the lowercase "station" would be preferred. ASUKITE 16:51, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
neutral - I think that enough of the history of this stop is about its life as a transit center that I could see the title of the article being either. This is different from say university/symphony station where the transit tunnel was always intending to be a light rail tunnel. currently sound transit still refers to other aspects of the facility as the "transfer center" and until that changes I don't think there is a clear official title yet, but it does seem to me that the light rail stop is the most important aspect of the facility at this time.
