This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

A fact from Kunming–Singapore railway appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 May 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Kunming–Singapore Railway will be 3,900 km (2,400 mi) long when completed?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/May.

Name Change?

I'm thinking that maybe the name of this article should be changed to "Pan-Asia Railway Network" as the current name is overly specific.Seligne (talk) 13:03, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Map caption misleading

Below the first map, it says: 'Overview of the missing links (in yellow) the Kunming-Singapore Railway'. How can you write such a text? This is patent nonsense. We all know that the line/network will be in standard gauge. We also know that outside China, there has hardly been standard gauge so far. So the entire network has to be built from scratch - not just a few gaps closed, as this map suggests.

Please correct.
