Template talk:Rail-interchange

Edit request March 25 2024 (HS2)

Hi there, was wondering if you could edit the template to add the following:

| hs2 =[[File:HS2 generic symbol.svg|{{{size|25}}}px|link={{{link|High Speed 2}}}|alt={{{alt|{{{link|High Speed 2}}}}}}]]

Could you also add the same under the section for 'gb' (I believe it should go just below 'glasgow', assuming it's in alphabetical order).

I've run the test cases and they look fine.

{{Rail-interchange/sandbox|hs2}}

(→Add→{{rail-interchange}})

{{Rail-interchange/sandbox|gb|hs2}}

(→)

Thanks in advance. Oldhamtw (talk) 13:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

I assume you're wanting this to show a service? There is none at the moment that I am aware of. These icons usually show indications of service providers, not the infrastructure over which they operate their services. As HS2 is yet to be completed, there is, as yet, no service provider. Another example is the Elizabeth line: as a service, it has an icon (), but the Crossrail infrastructure over which it runs does not. Bazza 7 (talk) 19:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

The service (not yet started) also goes by the name HS2, unlike the Elizabeth Line/Crossrail distinction. They might well rename the service at a later date, but currently the service and the infrastructure share the name 'HS2'. The confusion is understandable given the uncertainty over how the service will actually run.[1] Oldhamtw (talk) 15:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Any update on this? The icon would be helpful in routemaps showing what's under construction in certain areas (for example, in the West Midlands, there's a metro line under construction where certain stops will interchange with standard rail (with and ), some with a bus interchange (with ), etc. For clarity and consistency's sake, it would really help to have the icon as well.

Purin128AL (talk) 11:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@Purin128AL this looks fine, but a question--Sydney Trains and Sydney Light Rail have actual SVG icons. Would it be better to use those instead of the generic colored boxes? Mackensen (talk) 12:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes I think so as well. Let me update that and test it again Purin128AL (talk) 12:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@OrdinaryScarlett: It's worth remembering that these icons are not for presenting the branding of a service, but to give users some additional information about the service. There is nothing preventing you from constructing (or asking some else to construct) a bespoke icon which will be clear at the sizes and resolutions required whilst retaining selected branding elements. I took that approach for Eurostar and Heathrow Express, whose respective logos () and do not scale well: {{rint|eurostar|size=15}}: and {{rint|london|heathrowexpress|size=15}}: can both be seen at Template:Hammersmith & City line RDT.

An icon needs updating in the United States-California-Los Angeles portion. Metrolink rebranded in October 2022 (verifiable at their website, metrolinktrains.com--see the bookmark icon).
