- Hi, I'll review this article. FunkMonk (talk) 17:28, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Any source for the footnote?
- That there are 80 chains to the mile is no more worth citing than "there are 1000 metres in a kilometre". That railways are measured in chains I think is probably also not actually citeable as such, but all the references which have exact measurements do so in chains, so it's implied. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:15, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- You do not mention which country this is located in, neither in the intro nor article body. May seem obvious that Bristol is in the UK, but not to everyone.
- Did G A Nicholls die more than 70 years ago? Otherwise we can't be sure whether the infobox image is PD old or not. It is PD-US in any case, which means it could at least be uploaded locally if it is not PD-old too.
- "BPRP ran in to trouble" Ran into?
- "a self-contained railway" What is meant by this?
- "This was a joint venture by the BPRP, Great Western Railway (GWR) and Midland Railway (MR)" Why is this only mentioned so late in the artcle? It could be mentioned already under construction.
- Who built it originally then? FunkMonk (talk) 22:34, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
- The original railway was built by the BPRP. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:20, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
- "when services began on the Bristol Port Railway and Pier (BPRP), a self-contained railway" You could mention this is also a company then? FunkMonk (talk) 08:48, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

- You could also mention that it was a self-contained railway and who ran it in the intro, which is very short (even for an article this length).
- "and so refused to run" So would seem redundant.
- "It provided accommodation for many Europeans emigrating to the Americas" Why? Was it close to some transit area? Or cheap?
- Is the hotel seen in the photo? Could be mentioned.
- I think you could expand the intro. There is certainly more info that could be summarised.
- With the last issue solved, I will now pass the article. FunkMonk (talk) 14:18, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
