Ruislip Lido Railway[edit]

Ruislip Lido Railway has a steam train too and is in London — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.50.53 (talk • contribs) 13:35, May 22, 2007

Rename article?[edit]

There are recent changes to rename this article internally from "Kew Bridge Steam Museum" to "London Museum of Water and Steam".

http://kbsm.org has nothing on these changes. The most prominent source for them seems to be Facebook. There seems to be some relaunching happening on March 22nd, but there's no sourcing for a rename.

Should this rename stay? Should the article be renamed in its entirety? Should the intro read "The London Museum of Water and Steam, formerly the Kew Bridge Steam Museum, ..." ?

As someone not entirely inexperienced in museum marketing it sounds like some abominable brain-fart by someone in a Thames Water marketing office, to piss away thirty years of world-recognised goodwill and branding as Kew Bridge in favour of "London", one of the world's most over-used, abused and diluted brands for any tourist. But then I'm just an oily rag at the bottom of the engine shed, what do I know... Andy Dingley (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Amendments[edit]

Amended Railway as it is not the only steam / narrow gauge railway in London

Tidied up the introduction including a link to an article that discusses the rebrand. The new website will be launched shortly and the article will need to be renamed.

Also rewrote a number of areas, added more information and references about the museum and site.

Will be creating stubs to provide more information on each individual engine in due course.

Living Steam Museum?[edit]

I made a visit there in 1993, and I have in mind that the museum was named "Living Steam Museum" at that time. Is this correct or an error? --Joerg 130 (talk) 13:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
