Criteria?[edit]

Is this article intended to contain every town with a railway station in England? Seems to me it'll grown pretty big. Lupin 00:17, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, just traditional or current major railway centres. David 22:01, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Really, a "railway town" is defined as a town which largely grew up, or expanded, as a result of the railway. This is not the same as "railway centre". Thus Ashford, Crewe, Doncaster, Darlington, Eastleigh etc clearly qualify, but not London, Birmingham or Manchester. Suburbs within a city might, e.g. Tyseley, Gorton, Springburn.
