The Underground Electric Railways Company of London was the main forerunner of the London Underground. Established in 1902, the UERL was the holding company of six underground railway lines all originally established as separate companies. In 1933, the UERL was merged with other underground railways, tram and bus operators to form a London-wide transport organisation the London Passenger Transport Board.

The main article provides an overview of the holding company with separate articles for each of the lines. --DavidCane (talk) 23:29, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Seems a well-defined topic with a good set of articles. Nice to see a good few FT noms this past while after a dearth. GRAPPLE X 23:38, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As co-nom and contributor to the good article District Railway I have opened a Peer Review as part of the process to getting this article to Featured Article status. I don't believe this will affect this process. Edgepedia (talk) 13:00, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, it won't affect anything here. As long as it stays Good or better then we're fine; only 50% of the articles need to be featured. GRAPPLE X 14:43, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support logical grouping and I cannot see what else would fall into the scope. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:22, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support One comment, in the City & South article, the "Preserved Stock" section heading should have the second word lc Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:36, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. Thanks.--DavidCane (talk) 12:45, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't all references to London Gazette be to The London Gazette? Minor point, but if you could fix that, it'd be cool. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:12, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You're welcome to propose an amendment at Template talk:London Gazette, but failing that, no, sorry. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Aside from adding three letters and a space to every use of the template, I don't think it makes a great deal of difference - it certainly hasn't been commented on since I created the template in 2007.--DavidCane (talk) 22:03, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Okay, why let accuracy of publication titles get in the way! The Rambling Man (talk) 07:23, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
