Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station → Trivandrum Central — The name of the article was Trivandrum Central, which was the correct name of the railway station, until it was moved to Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station recently: [1]

The accurate name of the railway station is Trivandrum Central as per the official sites of the Indian railways.

3. http:/upwiki/wikipedia/en/a/a4/Railway_network_schematic_map_2009.png

Even in the picture of the railway station one can spot out the the name is written as Trivandrum Central : http:/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/1/18/Tvmcentral.jpg

Please move this page back to Trivandrum Central to reflect the accurate name of the station.

Makes sense. I agree with dropping the "railway station" part. But am not that sure about the Thiruvananthapuram<->Trivandrum part. While Indian Railways still goes by the old station codes (MAS for chennai, TVM for Trivandrum) it does take into account the name change of cities. For example the station code remains MAS but the name has been changed to Chennai Central. So it should either "Thiruvananthapuram Central" or "Trivandrum Central". --Sodabottle (talk) 15:27, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I notice that most railway station articles do have 'Station' appended to the name (King's Cross Station for example) though the use of 'Railway' is rare. Are you aware of articles on railway stations where the station qualifier is not included? Just wondering about consistency.--RegentsPark (talk) 16:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support : The station obviously does not use "Thiruvanthapuram" ; it uses "Trivandrum"; the official name change do not reflect here; its much like Bomaby Stock exchange or IIT Madras. Since we have articles like "Chennai Central" i would recommend dropping station part as well. therefore, "Trivandrum Central" IMO. Arjun^codename024 17:22, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
