The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Support We should apply WP:Common Sense, which would suggest that arbitrarily de-capping this line, when every similar one in the same category is capitalised makes very little sense. G-13114 (talk) 15:15, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - it's a proper noun, and proper nouns should be capitalised. This is not a descriptive-type line, where we're describing something that has no proper name, it has a proper name and that is Great Western Main Line. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:05, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Arguably this should never have been moved to lower-case in the first place, as it was always capitalised until 2017. If you look at the original move discussion further up, there were four votes for, and four against, that cannot in any way be interpreted as a consensus.

This article seems to be missing the now not so new Reading flyover/viaduct to the west of Reading station. Is this structure deemed to insignificant to warrant a mention in the Tunnels, viaducts and major bridges section? (Argoed (talk) 16:17, 22 November 2025 (UTC))[reply]
It's not really an elevated railway, but it is a flyover - part of a group of flying junctions that comprise the northern side of Reading triangle. Their purpose was to keep the express passenger services between Paddington and Didcot (and further west) clear of the slower local passenger services and the freight trains. It's covered at Reading railway station#2009–2015 redevelopment. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:20, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
