When I first came to this, I had kinda assumed it should be a list class article, and I believe it should be, instead of stub class. The fact the list is rather short does not abnegate that it is a list of boat trains. The references etc, all the better. Si Trew (talk) 05:53, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it should be just a list. There is quite a lot to be said about boat trains other than merely listing them. In fact those that run every day but don't have a name may be more significant to the concept than the "named trains". For instance, there used to several boat trains per day non-stop between London Victoria and Dover Western Docks, none of which (as far as I know) had a name. The article ought to discuss these. -- Alarics (talk) 08:44, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
