Untitled

I agree, delete Freightliner UK and merge it into this article. They are about the same thing but this is the more authoritative and comprehensive one. Arce 21:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move to Freightliner Group Limited: 3 weeks is long enough to discuss. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:36, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Currently the article disambiguate title reflects a geographic area, and not a topic. The geographic area is not accurate—Freightliner operate in Poland aswell—therefore an alternate article name maybe better suited. The other (US-centric) use of Freightliner is Freightliner Trucks, a manufacturer of heavy vehicles as so this probably does not qualify for primary. An alternative renaming option could be Freightliner Ltd. —Sladen (talk) 02:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was requested that this article be renamed but the procedure outlined at WP:RM#Requesting potentially controversial moves did not appear to be followed, and consensus could not be determined. Please request a move again with proper procedure if there is still a desire for the page to be moved. Thank you for your time!--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 19:24, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Replace misleading United Kingdom-centric name with generic disambiguation term — Sladen (talk) 18:32, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
Oppose - Instead I suggest it is moved to Freightliner Group Ltd or Freightliner Group Limited which is the full name of the company. This would be in the same format as DB Schenker Rail (UK) Ltd. -- Zabdiel (talk) 12:50, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update to Reflect Ownership Changes

Hello, I am Vice President of Communications of Genesee & Wyoming and am being asked by our Board to ensure this page is made more accurate.

In April 2024, Freightliner Group was separated from Genesee & Wyoming and now operate as sister companies - both under ownership of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners and GIC. https://www.railwayherald.com/uknews/freightliner-to-be-split-from-genesee-wyoming

Therefore, every reference to Freightliner Group being currently owned by Genesee & Wyoming needs to be updated, including CEO Tim Shoveller, who is now just CEO not "CEO of G&W's UK/Europe operations"

Also, Genesee & Wyoming sold its Australian operations in 2020, so all information and data about Australia under the "Fleet" section needs to be deleted, as there is currently no Australian fleet. https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/02-gw-to-sell-stake-in-australian-operations-as-it-goes-private/

So, the history section needs to be updated to reflect that as well.

THERE IS NO MORE FREIGHTLINER AUSTRALIA 144.121.249.10 (talk) 15:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is from Genesee & Wyoming's Wikipedia page to further support the Australia changes needing to happen:

In July 2019, affiliates of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners and GIC announced they had agreed terms to purchase Genesee & Wyoming for $8.4 billion. The deal was closed in December 2019. Because Brookfield already has other rail assets in Australia that would likely lead to objections from the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission, G&W's 51% shareholding in Genesee & Wyoming Australia was sold separately to PGMM and the business renamed to One Rail Australia. 144.121.249.10 (talk) 15:50, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
