Can anyone explain how these are ordered in the navbox? They make it difficult to find the specific article. Is there any reason we can't just list them alphabetically? Ajf773 (talk) 21:21, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If the stations were listed by route, it would make sense to have them in order served. Given that they aren't displayed by route, it makes most sense to list them in alphabetical order as you suggest. Schwede66 21:56, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll also add if they were by route/line, then there would be double-ups as some stations serve more than one line. Ajf773 (talk) 22:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the stations that serve multiple lines originally were added in order of importance and then the rest were added by route and order served. However, as new stations have been added over time I think they've just been put at the end of the list.

It probably makes sense to do it in alphabetical order as you suggest as any other way of ordering is not an exact process. Maybe the major interchanges could be put in bold or something like that.

Or they could be listed by route instead under child navboxes with interchanges (that serve multiple lines) having their own child navbox MangoMan11 (talk) 23:02, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
