At
WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the
policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly
civility and
consensus building. We are aware that the wording on
Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see
WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as
Constitutional status of Cornwall,
Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

This seems to be more controversial than I'd expected, so here's an explanation of why I think that Penzance is the westernmost railway station in England. My understanding is that
England does not include any part of
Scotland or
Wales. Thus, the fact that there are stations in Scotland further west that Penzance does not stop Penzance being the westernmost station in England, any more than there being stations in
France prevents its being the southermost. --

I don't think we should remove facts merely because they're confusing to people who don't understand British geography. I've added a clause which attempts to clarify the issue without being horribly patronising. --

The Night Riviera is already mentioned in the text of the "Services" section. The table is a summary and navigation aid; as you say, "it is part of FGW and branded as such", so why does it need repeating?

Hiya, I know this may or may not be controversial with the argument above - but Penzance does appear to be the southernmost station in GB (see Google Maps:
https://www.google.com/maps/@50.129874,-5.3150017,11.71z), also backed up by the book "Railway Adventures" by Geoff Marshall and Vicki Pipe (I don't know the exact page number though). Is this enough for an unquestionable edit?
