East Minster or East Minster-on-Sea

[edit]

This railway station article was renamed to "East Minster railway station" in September 2012, with old OS maps given as the source of information to justify the renaming.

The following, usually reliable, sources for station names suggest that it should be "East Minster-on-Sea"

Book:

Butt, R.V.J. (1995). The Directory of Railway Stations. Yeovil: Patrick Stephens Ltd. p. 88. ISBN 1-85260-508-1. R508. {{cite book}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help)
Butt (p.88) gives only one name, "East Minster-on-Sea".

Book:

  • McCarthy, Colin; McCarthy, David (2007). Waller, Peter (ed.). Railways of Britain: Kent and Sussex. Hersham: Ian Allan. ISBN 978-0-7110-3222-4. 0710/C1. {{cite book}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help); Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)
McCarthy & Mc Carthy (map 4 section E1 and map 5 section A1) also show one name, "East Minster-on-Sea".

And a couple more books:

Mitchell, Vic; Smith, Keith. Branch Lines Around Sheerness. Middleton Press. ISBN 1-873-793-16-2., has a section for East Minster-on-Sea railway station, and states that the original name, as shown on a section of a 1908 map, was East Minster.
Complete Atlas of Railway Station Names by Tony Dewick (pub = Ian Allen) also states that the station was originally named East Minster, and subsequently East Minster-on-Sea.

So the station's most recent name, and thus this article's name, should be East Minster-on-Sea railway station. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Efficacy (talkcontribs) 00:01, 1 December 2013‎
