Not an actual railway line, merely a rail service. Not independently notable. -mattbuck (Talk) 03:40, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are 20+ services that have articles and that's just in the South-East England. As the article notes, this service does make use of three different lines on its journey. --Meanderingbartender (talk) 17:09, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not arguing that there are service articles, and some, like Night Riviera, are notable. But I don't see how this one is. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:43, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is a railway line, not a service. Nightfury 08:08, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rename I agree that Ascot-Guildford is an un-notable service rather than a line, but if we delete it what line do we show for the stations at Bagshot, Camberley and Frimley? I propose that we rename and amend the article to cover the Ascot-Ash Vale line, or at a push Ascot-Aldershot. Trains reverse at Aldershot to continue through Ash to Guildford so this section is clearly not part of the same line. Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:36, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to agree with a rename. I support the rename to Ascot-Ash Vale, as the branch line diverges from the Alton line just after Ash Vale. -- Mrmatiko (talk) 17:17, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, the article needs cleanup/sourcing/renaming, not deletion. Szzuk (talk) 09:32, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Reference it or it goes I'm not opposed to the idea of a service being notable, rather than a geographical line. But it needs to demonstrate that. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:37, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
