London

[edit]

Hi, I thought it would be a good idea to include this article under a couple of London transport categories, mainly because it seemed to be a pity to leave it out (there's more water in London than just the Thames!). I understand it's a national body and not a London organisation - but it seemed to me to be a logical fit to include it in both spheres, since London has canals. Sorry if anyone was put out by it.

BW vs BWB

[edit]

It is clear that the company now refers to itself as British Waterways; however it was presumably incorporated as the British Waterways Board in the Transport Act 1962. When did the change of name take place? I have known it as "BWB" for many years, and this is presumably shown (in full) on signs too. (The BW site was of no help answering this question.) What's the history behind this?

Legally, it is still BWB, but it markets itself as BW. Mayalld (talk) 20:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Odd that they don't have to use that on their annual reports? The only reference I found to BWBoard was relating to the non-executive board. However, recent legislation refers to British Waterways Board, most recently The Regulatory Reform (British Waterways Board) Order 2003 (No. 1545). I couldn't find anything at companies house, except their marina and pensions divisions which are limited companies. Derek Andrews (talk) 21:43, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: article not moved Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 13:57, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

British Waterways → Canal & River Trust – British Waterways has been renamed. It still has the same statutory duties and the exactly they same employees. It is even funded in almost the same way: canal access fees, public donations and grants from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). To suggest there will be a transfer of "ownership from the current government-owned operator, British Waterways" is wrong. If that was the case, the whole BW organisation would have to reapply for their own jobs which they haven't! This is purely a paper exercise in changing the way investment in the inland waterways of the UK is conducted. 86.184.121.204 (talk) 09:49, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That page already exists so moving it would remove the information already there. I suggest that that article is expanded and the BW article is used as the old organisation as the differences between the two organisations warrant seperate articles. I will work on the CRT article as soon as i can. Rafmarham (talk) 10:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded the Canal & River Trust article as best I could considering it hasn't publicly launched yet. The finance section should be expanded when they release their first financial report and some images should be added when convenient. A list of the waterways they operate would also be nice, it can easily be found on the CRT website. Rafmarham (talk) 19:45, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A 2-article solution seems reasonable to me; one current organisation and one historical organisation. bobrayner (talk) 00:16, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

References Warning

[edit]

Just a warning note about the following. Following BW's demise, the Waterscape website has been removed and the BW website retained but only to display the previous publications of BW. As a result alot of the pages with the information on have now been removed making nearly all the BW/Waterscape links dead.

If the pages can be found on the Internet Archive then an archive URL can be added to the references and they can be held but if not, that will have to go. An example is to add the URL [2] to the reference for the CRT Timeline. Rafmarham (talk) 16:37, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've put an archiveurl on the only waterscape reference that has disappeared - the transition timeline. The others currently link through to the new site but things may change after 12 July when the new site is officially launched. Chris55 (talk) 11:58, 8 July 2012 (UTC
