Station list

I put Whitechapel between Liverpool Street and Stratford stations, as it is on the vast majority of trains, and it was reverted as the section is supposedly referring to the services that terminate there. This is just a handful of trains out of hundreds per day. It was all trains on the Elizabeth line for 6 months, but that ended 7 months ago. We're either preserving this template in aspic or missing the forest of services for the tree of those that still terminate at Liverpool Street.

Going through the history of the template, I find this reversion undoing an attempt to treat the line as the one line it has been since November, using a similar format/nonclementure to the other branching TfL routes ( DLR, Central line, District line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line).

I feel we should bring this template

  1. up to date, rather than stuck in the past
  2. in line with other TfL Line's Templates

however, attempts to do have been reverted without a discussion beyond a comment in the edit summary.

I'm discussing this, per WP:BRD, because I feel that the reverts of fairly-conservative edits were bold moves, especially given WP:ONLYREVERT, and therefore should be discussed. Let's talk, rather than revert. Encourage the newcomers!
