Having produced this composite diagram I've put it here for those who know more than I do about this area to work on, possibly. Britmax (talk) 18:56, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

This fine route diagram has just made me realise that most of the little route diagrams that I added to this page when expanding it are actually rather unneccesary. As a result, I'm removing the diagrams for the proposed (unbuilt) branches. Thank you for the proverbial prod to re-evaluate my (very early) contributions.
I'm reluctant to put the Red Wharf Bay branch in the main diagram as they'd both be light red, but the RWB has been taken up, while the Amlwch line's track remains. With the NWCL passing by as well, it's not possible to show three types of track with two colours. Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 23:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Some images of stations. Pre-1946 photographs are public domain in UK.
Network Rail 2008 Route plan makes no reference to Amlwch line, other than marking it non-operational in the diagram.

Don't be surprised if you see further changes made to this page in the next couple of days, as I've invited assorted other editors to get involved in this one; I think there's enough material here to take this one all the way to the Main Page with a little work. The only real concerns I have at this stage are: some of the sections are a little long; the references at the moment are a little messy; there's not enough coverage of what (if any) through services were run from the mainline onto the branch; the images might be better off in a gallery. All of these are minor concerns, though. — iridescent 22:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the vote of approval in rating this as a good article. I'm pleased to see the first article I really contributed to making it to GA status, and am only too happy to see further improvements. I freely admit that I don't have the whole referencing thing down to pat yet, but I may yet get the hang of it. I've looked through a summary of the changes that you've all made to the article in the past hours, and concur with all of the, with the possible exception of renaming the section "the track today" to "2008 status". The new title, while arguably better, doesn't suit the content of the section to my eye, as it deals with the recent history through the 90s as well. Perhaps a title suggesting the search for another use for the railway would be appropriate, or its revival. Nothing really good is coming to mid at the moment, though.
With regards to the Welsh article, if it's Atlas Môn you were concerned about, I noticed last week that my father owns a copy of the very same atlas, published in English . They are identical in content, and so I've switched the title/publisher for the English names. If it's the "rise and fall of the port of Amlwch", the references I have made are generally to English quotations of period letters. These letters are held in Bangor University's archives, and I intend to gain access to them over the summer: there may be other interesting snippets to find in them. I will also try to remember to look through contemporary newspapers for independent verification of the rail tours. I'm going on holiday in a few days, however, and I doubt that I'll get much rummaging done before then.
Thanks once again. Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 19:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I have a copy of Geraint Jones's "Anglesey Railways" (2005) ISBN 9781845270063 which has a chapter on the ACR. I don't know whether it can add anything, but feel free to ask me to check for particular things in it. BencherliteTalk 22:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Looks like I'm first up to bat. To get through an FA nomination you have to be very precise about your citations, and give the specific page number(s) that support what it is that you've just said. The best way to do that, I think, is to put all of your published sources into a Bibliography section using {{cite book}}/{{cite journal}} or whatever, and reference the pages as <ref>Rowlands (2008), p. 62</ref> for instance, or whatever Harvard style takes your fancy. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this article would pass a WP:GAR. The lead section is but a single sentence, and does not adequately summarize the article. Some of the sections could be reorganized/combined to make the article flow better, and tie into each other more. Dr. Cash (talk) 16:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
In the main information box it states it was only in operation until 1876. Why so? The physical line itself was in use until 1993 so I think this should be changed as the 1876 date gives the wrong impression. Or am I alone in thinking this? Cls14 (talk) 23:52, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
