Talk:Whitehorse

Air Quality
WHO named Whitehorse, Yukon the city with the cleanest air. Might want to pop that in there. link: http://ecocentric.blogs.time.com/2011/09/27/the-10-most-air-polluted-cities-in-the-world/?hpt=hp_t2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.81.94.68 (talk) 13:52, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Population

 * i am about to tell you thath there are there are 4 different populations listed on this page! 23,205 in the opening paragraph; 19,058 for City and 21,405 for Metro in the fact box on the right; and 252 000 listed under Community Profile. Luigi, which is correct?

 * 19,058 was the population inside the Whitehorse City limits counted by Statistics Canada in the 2001 Census. 21,405 was the number of people in the Whitehorse Census agglomeration in 2001. 23,205 is the population count supplied by the Yukon Bureau of Statistics in December 2004. Generally speaking, the Census tends to undercount people (the YBS has shown this to Stats Can's satisfaction, which resulted in the Yukon government getting an extra $30 million), while the YBS numbers are based on the number of people with Yukon health care cards with Whitehorse postal addresses, which is an overcount, since it can take up to a year to remove people from the health care rolls. So, the answer to your question is none of the above. Luigizanasi 15:18, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

wrong address
I don't really know how to use this website, but Whitehorse is Mile 918 on the Alaska Highway, not Mile 1495 or whatever

 * It may be mile 917 on the Alaska Highway, but it's kilometre 1489 as stated in the article. Beckie S.--11:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that the "What's Up, Yukon" bi-weekly should be added to the list of local media. All local content and events, arts and entertainment, occasional weekly runs during special events in town, been in production for over a year now.
 * Yes check.svg Done
 * The Two Mile Hill intersection, historically the only access road down into Whitehorse (downtown being the original townsite and only developed area until WW2), is at Mile 917.9. The mile figures are no longer accurate, and Whitehorse is now actually about 888 miles from Mile Zero.  The historic mile figures are today represented with street addresses (put into effect 21 Oct 1997) measured to 1/100 of a mile -- one establishment just north of the Two Mile Hill intersection (relocated slightly further north in 1993) is 91806 Alaska Highway.

explain
as far as i can read, theres nothing on here explaining why buildings can't be more then 4 stories...can anyone add reasons why —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.130.211.27 (talk) 15:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

 * The main reason given is that Whitehorse is in an earthquake zone, but citizens also oppose high rises because of aesthetics. Even at four stories, some residents immediately to the north of such structures are blocked from sunlight during the later fall and early winter. GBC (talk) 16:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I completely agree with the sunlight explanation. However the earthquake reasoning is not true. In fact most earthquake zones have some of the largest buildings out there. The limit is more to do with metered height not stories. Mahs point is six stories and still within the height restriction bylaw. It opened in 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.28.245.14 (talk) 08:33, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Page Needs an update
Lots of clunky language here. It reads like a tourist's guide with many pieces of irrelavent information. There also needs to be a history section, perhaps created by someone who knows more than I do (of course). Reference to "the village" (The Kwanlin Dun First Nation) is derogatory and I have removed it.
 * Yes check.svg Done well partially--Tallard (talk) 13:48, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Spelling
The IP-address-only person who spells it "story" and "stories", for the number of floors in a building - should kindly check the dictionary and note that "storey" is the generally-accepted proper spelling to distinguish it from that which means tale, and the plural of which is storeys. As this is a Canadian location, British-Canadian spelling rules should be prime, just as American spelling rules should be prime for articles pertaining mainly to American subjects. GBC (talk) 16:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Getting this article from B class to GA class
All articles regarding capital cities in Canada should strive to at least achieve Good Article (GA) status, if not Featured Article (FA) status. As you can see I have been expanding sections pretty significantly, using as models other smaller Canadian cities which have achieved GA status, such as Coquitlam. One of the major challenges on this article is to apply Manual of Style. Please help by inserting content into the empty sections and bringing further suggestions to this talk page. --Tallard (talk) 22:15, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Log Skyscrapers info
From: Bell's Travel Guides, Whitehorse ''Log Skycrapers. During the construction of the Alaska Highway every hotel and home in Whitehorse was overflowing with army and air force personnel. Even the riverboats that tied up overnight were used to accommodate construction crews. The shortage of rental units and space promoted Martin Berrigan then in his early 70's, to begin building the log skyscrapers.''

''The three-story skyscraper was the last of Berrigan's many log buildings and was completed in 1947. It is 58 logs high and is made of logs weighing at least 300 pounds each. It was originally founded on the ground but concrete footings have been recently added. Both skyscrapers have been insulated, drywalled and equipped with plumbing and electric heating. The original five rental units are still leased as apartments.''

See also: Photograph of 4-storey one

From Yukon Historical & Museums Association Log Skyscraper, building description:''Two log dwellings stood beside the skyscrapers until they were removed to make way for the construction of the office building located on the corner of Second Avenue and Lambert. That site is now a parking lot. Refer to Berrigan Cabins, and Mah Bing Cabin. Berrigan built all five buildings located within the first two blocks of Lambert Street. This site was once the location of Roland Ryder's house, stables, and vegetable garden. Ryder operated a water delivery business and kept his horses at this site.''

''The skyscrapers were built by Martin Berrigan in 1947. Berrigan moved to Whitehorse in 1939 after spending time working on the dredges in Dawson. He is quoted as having said "Life is too short to allow for getting sick, so I started building cabins for rent." This log cabin was the last of many built by Berrigan. He began with several one-storey log dwellings at a time when Whitehorse was experiencing a shortage of accomodation due to wartime construction. Three of these cabins are located in the first block of Lambert Street. This three storey structure was built of logs which Berrigan cut from the east bank of the Yukon River and skidded to the location with a horse team. In the late 1970's, the Skyscrapers were in danger of demolition when the lot was put up for sale; however, the demolition was not carried out and a new owner was found.''

Question: Does anyone have references relative to how many there were? Were there only 3 of them? a 2-storey, a 3-storey, and a 4-storey?--Tallard (talk) 14:26, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Former name
It may be just me, but after reading this section under "History":

"In 1950 the city was incorporated and by 1951, the population had doubled from its 1941 numbers. On April 1, 1953, the city was designated the capital of the Yukon territory when the seat was moved from Dawson City after the construction of the Klondike Highway.[27] On March 21, 1957, the name was changed to Whitehorse.[28]"

It's unclear what the former name is.

Grey Mountain
I was cruising through Wikipedia and somehow ended up looking at a red link for Grey Mountain. I'm in the process now of creating a Grey Mountain page (for now it will live in my user page, since this is my first article.) I was wondering if there is anyone out there that would like to edit/add to the page once I get the basics in?

 * I've started and put what I have so far here: Grey Mountain Draft. It is nowhere near complete, but as I said, this is my first article and I'd appreciate a little help if anyone out there is interested.  I have posted a bit of discussion on my talk page, so as to not clutter up this talk page.  --JonGDixon (talk) 23:44, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Comfortable climate
"Whitehorse was ranked among Canadian cities with the most comfortable climate." Canadians like it cold, huh? In the source the city is not even in the top three. I believe this should not be mentioned in the article. --212.226.66.147 (talk) 06:58, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Economy
This article badly needs a section on the economy. Why are people here? How do they earn a living? What are the economic sectors: government? forestry? mining? tourism? Bare minimum we should learn approximately how many people are engaged in the various sectors. 107.197.156.7 (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Km 1426 vs 1476
Yukonpearl's revision notes suggest a reroute in 2005. Actually, rerouting and shortening of the Alaska Highway has been under way since 1943, with pauses in some years. What happened in 2005 was that the kilometreposts in the Yukon were recalibrated between the BC border near Watson Lake and the west end of the Champagne "revision", counting up from the last BC milepost, which itself was no longer accurate but had not been recalibrated since about 1990. Since that time, the revisions have been extended twice to now reach the Alaska border. GBC (talk) 02:16, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Requested move 3 December 2020

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Ultimately I'm finding a consensus to move. As Vaselineee showed, this article gets the vast majority of pageviews and otherwise meets the criteria at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC; this point was never effectively contested by opposers. Although it's true that bad links to a primary topic damage the encyclopedia, ultimately you would have to change the article titles policy to prevent this.

Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 22:06, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose As mentioned in the other RM, there is also City of Whitehorse and Whitehorse, South Dakota, making there WP:NOPRIMARY. Retarget to White horse (disambiguation).ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:30, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Just because there are other cities named “Whitehorse” doesn’t mean there can’t be a primary topic. There are several “Michael Jordan’s”, but only one is the primary topic. As I linked above to the article traffic statistics for the other “Whitehorse” named cities, the other articles, even combined, do not come near that of the Yukon city. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 04:52, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not a Michael Jordan situation. Everyone in the world knows who Michael Jordan is, but I'd be surprised if the casual reader has heard of Whitehorse, Yukon. Its population is only 25,000, which, while large for its location, is far from being something well-known.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:44, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That is WP:OR. Population of the city has nothing to do with determining a primary topic. It also does not matter if the reader has not heard of Whitehorse, Yukon in general (probably none have heard of the other Whitehorse's either), what matters is if it is considered the primary topic within the context of the other "Whitehorse's", and by the article traffic statistics, it clearly is. How can you explain the traffic stats being 100 times larger for the Yukon city than all the other Whitehorse's combined if is not the primary topic? Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:02, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The fact is that despite the fewer pageviews, Whitehorse in Melbourne has about 7x the real-world population. It isn't some isolated hovel that gets 1 view every month. The disambiguation isn't particularly intrusive either, so I struggle to see the benefit. WP:AINTBROKE.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:20, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * All due respect, maybe you have to read WP:PRIMARYTOPIC again? The population literally has nothing to do with how we evaluate a primary topic—we evaluate it by usage. The Yukon city gets on average 880 views per day, while the Australian city gets an average of 38. This demonstrates that the Yukon city is much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. The Yukon city also seems to have long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term. From some quick Google searches, the Yukon city also seems to be mentioned in more reliable sources than the Australian city (although not entirely good metric given Google Personalized Search). The point is, the population is arbitrary, just as would saying the Yukon city takes precedence because it is the capital of something. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:49, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Oppose A proper disambiguation page is better than a series of confusing (for the casual readers of Wikipedia) redirects. We do no build the encyclopedia for ourselves but for the public. The Banner  talk 10:55, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nom, clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by page views and long-term significance. Either way, the redirect at Whitehorse needs to be turned into a DAB and filled in.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:33, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support nomination. Clear primary topic, The capital of Yukon territory, which is why despite its low population is extremely prominent. RedPatchBoy (talk) 15:02, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support the higher page views and evidence that it has more enduring notability than the other entries make a compelling case for this being the primary topic. I also don’t see the lower pollution as a reason to oppose and in fact see it as bolstering the case that this is the primary topic since it makes it unlikely that the higher page views are due to systemic bias.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 23:24, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - For those perhaps unfamiliar with the Victorian system of LGAs, there is a good reason that the pageviews for City of Whitehorse are much smaller than the city in Yukon in spite of the much larger population. The clue is in the lead of CoW: "The City of Whitehorse is a local government area in Victoria, Australia" - in spite of the name, it is not a "city" really. When asked where they live, someone would give a suburb (eg Box Hill), or say Melbourne, they'd never say Whitehorse. The LGAs are just administrative eg for bin collections and planning permits but aren't used to identify locations except in the context of local government. Compare Melbourne to City of Melbourne. A7V2 (talk) 23:55, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I'd be prepared to wager that a good proportion of readers typing "Whitehorse" were actually looking for "White Horse" or "white horse" instead. Links to DAB pages such as White horse (disambiguation) get fixed, usually within a couple of months, and confuse nobody even before they're fixed. Bad links to WP:PTOPICs can hang around for a decade and more, can mislead readers, and do degrade the encyclopedia. (I've fixed a couple of thousand bad links to PTOPICs and WP:SIAs; I've worked with an editor who devotes almost all his time to guessing at and fixing them, and who has fixed many times that number. I'll alert him to white horse - to which the third link-in was the redirect !) Narky Blert (talk) 16:21, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Not to bludgeon, but I'm genuinely interested in why you think that people looking for "whitehorse" actually are looking for "white horse". The statistics certainly don't support that ("white horse" still has eight times less traffic than "Whitehorse, Yukon"—if this is how many views the Whitehorse city gets, even with currently having a disambiguator, it certainly seems that this is the topic people are looking for in greater numbers than any other "white horse" or "whitehorse" combined. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 17:02, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Not bludgeoning in any way, that's a very good question.
 * I don't know what readers type in (no-one does, all we can do is guess from pageview stats), but as a DABfixer I do know the sorts of things which editors link to; and I think it's reasonable to assume that readers are less precise than editors. Most DABfixes are mundane (pick the obvious link off the DAB page, why didn't you WP:TESTLINK?), but many are not. Joining, separating, or hyphenating words, and capitalising common nouns, are among the simpler tricks which keep DABfixers occupied; but we can only easily find and fix bad links if they link to a DAB page.
 * We must assume that readers aren't always certain what they're looking for; they may have misheard or misremembered.
 * Until I spotted and edited them just now, both and  redirected to white horse. It seems pretty clear to me that any reader typing in either of those is most likely looking for, e.g., information about a neolithic artefact, a place, or a pub, than about horses with a particular coat colour.
 * It's a trade-off. PTOPICs save most readers one click. They also tend to - I'd say always - collect bad links, which can be hugely damaging to the encyclopedia. As an analogy, IMDb is deprecated at WP:RSPS for lack of editorial oversight; which can result both in split filmographies, and in combined filmographies of two or more people. We need to be better than that. Narky Blert (talk) 18:05, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Summer Daylight
In the Climate section, it's claimed that WH has "just over 19 hours" of Summer daylight. No, it doesn't. Yes, daylight peaks on/about June 21st at 19.1 hrs. Peak. (It's only over 19 hrs for about 3-4 days before and after then.) I did a rough estimate (original research) based on a graph of daylight there and the "Summer" daylight (Jun-1 to Aug-31) is averages 17.6 hrs. (I'd not trust that last significant figure to more than +/-0.5) but clearly it is NOT 19 hours. Civil Twilight (plus daylight) averages 21 hrs in that same period. (Twilight around June 21st is 24 hrs.) But Civil Twilight is not daylight. (I mean, that's why there is something called Civil Twilight (along with Nautical as well as Astronomical twilight)). It would probably be better to say something like Summer daylight averages over 17 hrs. and around Summer Solstice Civil Twilight persists for 24 hrs. (If you can find a good reference...would an online calculator work?)174.130.71.156 (talk) 14:55, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I use Sunrise/sunset calculator from the National Research Council Canada on other Wikipedia pages. Nobody has questioned it before but use the coordinates. I discovered that using the named city was not always correct. By the way the sentence reads "...and summer days have up to about 19 hours of daylight." It should say that "...and summer days can have up to 19 hours of daylight." There's a 19 day period where the total hours are over 19 and there is no civil twilight.

The Reality of My Surroundings

The Reality of My Surroundings is the third studio album by the American rock band Fishbone, released on April 23, 1991 through Columbia Records. It was their first album to include former Miles Davis music director John Bigham (guitar, keyboards), who joined in 1989 during the Truth and Soul tour.

Album information
Fishbone took the rest of 1989 off before beginning to write songs for the follow-up to Truth and Soul. The project was plagued by production delays until November 1990, when the band entered Ocean Way Recording, booking two months of studio time in which to record the album. Fishbone self-produced the album with assistance of David Kahne which includes the singles, "Fight the Youth", "Everyday Sunshine" and "Sunless Saturday".

The album's title comes from a line in track 3, "So Many Millions", which reads "I cannot get over legitimately, the Reality of My Surroundings do not point to the sky".

Packaging
The CD cover shows only John Norwood Fisher, with a larger picture of the band sitting in a living room being visible when the CD cover is unfolded. The vinyl version shows the full band's living-room portrait, spanning both sides of the outer gatefold cover.

Release and reception
With this album, Fishbone obtained critical and commercial success with a ranking of No. 49 on the Billboard 200 on May 18, 1991. Due to the sudden implementation of Nielsen SoundScan tracking figures on the Billboard charts, The Reality of My Surroundings sharply dropped to No. 182 in two weeks. The album ultimately spent ten weeks on the Billboard 200, and by 1997 the album had sold nearly 200,000 copies in the United States.

The album is widely considered by fans and critics as the creative peak of the band. People called The Reality of My Surroundings Fishbone's most impressive album. Trouser Press wrote that "the sprawling [album] reprises much of Truth and Soul‘s spirit and sound, but is far more ambitious in scope and philosophy."

Fishbone experienced a large growth in concert tickets and record sales during this period, making two memorable television appearances: performing "Sunless Saturday" and "Everyday Sunshine" on Saturday Night Live, and "Everyday Sunshine" on The Arsenio Hall Show. The SNL performance of "Sunless Saturday" has been re-edited in reruns. The original television broadcast showed a brief glimpse of Angelo Moore doing a backflip on stage. The re-edited version simply switches the camera angle, making it possible to see the full flip right after signaling "Special K" (Kendall Jones) to do his guitar solo.

User:Alejo2083

Hi, my name is Alessio Damato and I'm from Rome, Italy. In 2005 I lived in Wrexham, north Wales, where I got a British degree in Sound/Broadcast engineering, then I moved to Rome where I graduated in Electronic engineering in 2006. At the moment I'm studying for a Master degree at the University of Rome. I give a help in both the English and the Italian wikipedia, even if most of the work I do is for the English one.

The Great Wikipedia
Can you figure out how great the Wikipedia project is? For the first time in the history, there is the possibility to access knowledge anytime, anywhere and without any kind of influence. People from all over the world help the development of Wikipedia and, thanks to its policy, the best compromise between all the different point of views is always guaranteed.

Wikipedia in the Education System
As far as I know, the education system did not realise, yet, how powerful Wikipedia could be.

Teachers usually have to give notes to the students about the subject they are studying. These material is normally published on the web sites belonging to the University or College where they are working. If any teacher would be publishing the notes for his students on Wikipedia instead of these private web sites, that would be a great contribution to the Wikipedia project giving anybody the possibility to access to the latest up-to-date information from any kind of subject.

If you are a teacher, publish your notes on Wikipedia: you will get instantaneous fixing of the mistakes and improvements.

Changing point of view, in the British system (and maybe in other systems as well), students have to write assignments (i.e. research, project or report about anything) in order to pass an exam. Students could publish some parts of these assignments on Wikipedia adding just some minor changes.

If you are a student, publish the most interesting parts of your assignments on Wikipedia: your work will not go wasted and you will help other students like you.

Electronics
I started the Wikiproject about electronics. My major interest is about electronic engineering since this is what I am studying at the University at the moment. The articles about engineering to which I made major changes are: AES/EBU, Amplitude-shift keying, Biometrics, Biphase Mark Code, Discrete-time Fourier transform, Intersymbol interference, Johnson-Nyquist noise, JPEG 2000, Negative impedance converter, Nyquist ISI criterion, Offset quadrature phase-shift keying, Operational amplifier applications, Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, Phase-shift keying, Quadrature amplitude modulation, Rain fade, Site diversity, Soliton (optics) S/PDIF, Star-Triangle transformation, Super diode, Uplink Power Control, Variable rate encoding, Xcircuit plus other minor changes.

Beer
Since I have the hobby of drinking beer and of travelling tasting the local beers (the so called "beer tourism"), I joined the Wikiproject about beer, that has the aim of collecting all the possible information about the different kinds of beer and about brewing. I gave help to the following articles: India Pale Ale, Lager, Stout, Summer ale, Smooth Flow beer, Imperial stout, Irish stout, Milk stout, Oatmeal stout, Chocolate stout, Oyster stout.

Rome

Since I'm from Rome, I wrote some articles about it: 14 regions of the Augustan Rome, Administrative subdivision of Rome, Campo de' Fiori, Colosseum, Rioni of Rome, Sampietrini, Monti (rione of Rome), Trevi (rione of Rome), Colonna (rione of Rome), Campus Martius, Ponte (rione of Rome), Parione, Regola (rione of Rome), Sant'Eustachio (rione of Rome), Pigna (rione of Rome), Campitelli, Sant'Angelo (rione of Rome), Ripa (rione of Rome), Trastevere, Borgo (rione of Rome), Esquilino (rione of Rome), Ludovisi, Sallustiano, Castro Pretorio, Celio (rione of Rome), Testaccio, San Saba (rione of Rome), Prati (rione of Rome).

Other
Bessel function, Fresnel diffraction.

Wikicommons
I upload all the images I can to Wikicommons, so it is possible it use them in any other project of the Wikimedia family. On my user page I keep a gallery of all the pictures I have uploaded. I also wrote the linux part of Cleaning up interference with Fourier analysis

Wikibooks
When I have time I give a hand to the Wikibooks project as well. About now, I'm contributing to the books about LaTeX, Electronics and GIMP.

Sindh Democratic Alliance

The Sindh Democratic Alliance was a regional political party in Pakistan. The party was created by the bureaucrat-turned-politician Imtiaz Shaikh in mid-2001. He was formerly a right-hand man of Jam Sadiq Ali, who was the Chief Minister of Sindh from 1990 until he was murdered in 1992. At the behest of the military government, he resigned from the government post and formed SDA. Arbab Ghulam Rahim, the former chief minister Sindh and former Speaker Sindh Assembly Syed Jalal Mehmood Shah were also one of the leaders of SDA.

At the legislative elections, held on 20 October 2002, the party was part of the National Alliance, that won 4.6% of the popular vote and 16 out of 342 seats in the National Assembly.

In May 2004, Sindh Democratic Alliance merged with PML (Q) along with other parties to form united Pakistan Muslim League.

Removed "Shelter from the Storm" reference for inaccuracy and source issues
I removed the following sentence:
 * "Fix You" was also played on Shelter from the Storm.

for several reasons: I suspect that this can be salvaged with a little more research and better citations, so I'm hoping regular visitors here can help. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:55, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Shelter from the Storm is about a 1975 Bob Dylan song, not a 2005 event or recording, making the sentence nonsensical.
 * 2) The cited source doesn't mention "Shelter from the Storm".
 * 3) That source does suggest "Fix You" was used in at least two hurricane relief benefits, but I couldn't find the name "Shelter from the Storm" attached to any in the time I had to research it.

Lydney railway station

Lydney railway station is a railway station serving the town of Lydney in Gloucestershire, England. It is located on the Gloucester-Newport line, 133 mi from the zero point at Paddington, measured via Stroud. The station is located a mile south of Lydney, and was originally called Lydney Junction, which is now the name of the nearby station on the preserved Dean Forest Railway.

History

Lydney Junction was the name of two separate but adjacent stations on two different railway lines. The Great Western Railway station, which is the one that remains open as Lydney railway station, opened in 1851 on the Gloucester to Chepstow section of the South Wales Railway. To the west of this station, the freight-only line of the Severn and Wye Mineral Railway crossed the GWR line on its north–south route taking coal and iron from the Forest of Dean to the docks at Lydney.

In 1875, the Severn and Wye started passenger services and built a new terminus station at Lydney Junction for passenger trains to and from Drybrook, near Cinderford. Four years later, this first station was superseded by a new one as the Severn and Wye joined with the Midland Railway in building the Severn Bridge Railway, which linked Lydney across the River Severn with the Midland's Sharpness Branch Line, enabling access for the Forest of Dean minerals to the new and more extensive docks at Sharpness.

The new Lydney Junction (Severn and Wye) station was linked by a long footbridge to the GWR's station. There were also extensive freight yards in the north-east quadrant between the two lines, and these provided the only rail link between the Severn and Wye and the Great Western lines. The two stations worked closely together, particularly after 1894, when the Severn and Wye Railway was bought by the Great Western and the Midland. Finally, in 1955, under British Railways, the two stations were formally merged into one.

Lydney Junction (Severn and Wye) was used as a through-station for passenger services to and from Berkeley Road railway station and over the Severn Railway Bridge. These services either terminated at Lydney Town railway station, which was in the centre of Lydney, or continued on northwards into the Forest of Dean to terminate at Lydbrook Junction on the Ross to Monmouth line. These services ceased abruptly in October 1960 when the Severn Railway Bridge was damaged beyond economic repair in a shipping accident. Passenger services were officially withdrawn from this Lydney Junction in November 1964 and it remained closed until reopening by the Dean Forest Railway in 1995.

The other Lydney Junction, then renamed Lydney, lost its freight services in 1968 and its staffing in 1969, and the Great Western buildings on the platforms were demolished, though the signalbox remained until December 2012.

Facilities
The station is unstaffed, but a self-service ticket machine is provided (this can also be used for collecting advance purchase tickets). Train running information is provided by customer help points, digital CIS displays and timetable posters on each platform (along with waiting shelters). Step-free access is offered to both sides via the level crossing.

Services
The majority of passenger services at Lydney are provided by Transport for Wales, with an hourly Maesteg-Cardiff Central-Cheltenham Spa service in each direction (although there are a couple of gaps during the middle of the day). On Sundays, there is a two-hourly service each way.

CrossCountry also serve the station as part of their Cardiff Central to Nottingham via Birmingham New Street route. Monday to Saturday, there are six trains per day in each direction. There is no Sunday service on this route.

There is no footbridge at the station, and therefore no means of crossing the line to get to the opposing platform once the level crossing gates close in advance of a train arriving.

Incidents
An incident occurred at the station's level crossing on 23 March 2011 when a fault with the automatic barriers caused a northbound CrossCountry service to pass over the crossing at 60 mph while the gates were raised (although the traffic lights were red).

Candice Stowe

Candice Stowe is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Nikki Sanderson. She was introduced as the best friend of Sarah-Louise Platt (Tina O'Brien). She made her first appearance during the episode airing on 5 November 1999.

Storylines
Candice first appeared as Sarah Platt's (Tina O'Brien) best friend from school. Candice was one of the first people Sarah told of her pregnancy. When people at their school start to tease Sarah about her weight gain, Candice tries to help by telling that them that she is pregnant, which leads to everyone finding out about it. Sarah is initially upset but later forgives her. While many of Sarah's friends turned against her, Candice sticks by her throughout the pregnancy and birth of her daughter Bethany, and becomes Bethany's godmother.

Her mother did not approve of Sarah when she became pregnant and called her a bad influence on her daughter, but it was later revealed that Candice was the bad influence on Sarah. Candice and her mother's relationship broke down when Candice's mother would not believe that she was being sexually harassed by her mother's boyfriend. Sarah's grandmother, Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls), soon took pity on Candice and she moved into the salon flat. Candice then went on to work as a trainee hairdresser in Audrey's salon.

Candice dated Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley), but he broke up with her after discovering that she had slept with Jason (Ryan Thomas), his older half brother. When promising footballer Warren Baldwin (Danny Young) arrived in Weatherfield she dreamed of fame and soon got together with him. But he later ended their relationship when he left to play for a Spanish team. Candice also dated Darren Michaels (Nicholas Zabel) and Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson), but later dumped him via text message as she left the street when Status Quo offered her a job as a stylist.

Development
In June 2005, it was reported that Sanderson had quit her role as Candice. "I have had the most fantastic and memorable time here at Corrie," Sanderson said. She went on to say: "I made the decision to leave as it is time for me and Candice to leave the cobbles on a high. I am really sad to be going because I will miss everybody. I am excited about what the future holds and I'd like to thank everybody for the fantastic opportunities I have been given."

Coronation Street producer Tony Wood said: "Candice is a character with a great deal of ambition and we felt it was not believable that she would stay in Weatherfield forever. At the same time Nikki has indicated that she wants to try her hand at other projects - it therefore suits Coronation Street and Nikki for the character to be written out this autumn. Nikki has been a real asset to the show and the writers have had great fun writing for Candice. We wish her all the best for the future."

Following her departure, The People claimed that Sanderson quit her role after becoming tired of being sidelined by the show's producers. She apparently felt that the soap's scriptwriters favoured her fellow cast-members Tina O'Brien (Sarah Platt) and Samia Ghadie (Maria Sutherland). The newspaper claimed that Sanderson told former boyfriend Jamie Meakin about her frustrations. "The whole thing about Nikki leaving Corrie for love and a singing career is really only half the truth and bit of a smoke screen," Meakin revealed. "She would say, 'I'm just as good as anyone else' and get all upset. To be honest, Nikki was jealous of the attention Tina and Samia got all the time." Sanderson later denied the rumours, explaining, "I've never felt sidelined by anyone. You only have to watch the show to see that I've had some fantastic storylines which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The only person who knows the real reasons why I'm leaving the show is me. I knew there would be speculation but to say things that aren't true hurts." In November 2011, the Daily Star revealed that Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson was planning on bringing back Sanderson and Tina O'Brien who played Sarah Platt between 1999 and 2007 in a bid to fill the gap left by the departures of Helen Flanagan who played Rosie Webster and Katherine Kelly who played Becky McDonald. A source told the paper: "He's aware that Sarah and Candice were hugely popular characters. He thinks it would be a ratings winner to bring them back. Losing Katherine and Helen is a big blow to the show so Phil wants to beef things up a bit with the return of a couple of big names." However, this did not follow through.

In May 2013, Sanderson, who has since joined Hollyoaks in the role of Maxine Minniver, revealed that she has never considered reprising her role as Candice. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Sanderson said: "I've never even thought about going back to Corrie – I left seven years ago. I've done so many other things in that time. That's why it doesn't even feel like a crossover going into Hollyoaks, I've had a complete career between the two soaps." She continued: "Corrie was my first main job and I loved it, I loved being challenged. When I left Corrie I went on to a job where we were filming four or five scenes a day. I couldn't believe it, I was used to filming 16 scenes a day! I'd just assumed all TV work was like that."

Following O'Brien's return as Sarah in 2015, Sanderson said to The Sun: "Tina's back on the cobbles, bless her. Could they tempt me back to the cobbles? No, I am loving it where I am at the moment."
