Modify the article title?

[edit]

The definite article in the middle of the title makes for clumsy reading and less-than-spontaneous understanding. It would be much clearer if it were omitted:

  • V&SAR Overland carriages.

Alternatively, if retaining the definite article is considered to be essential, then the name of the train could be moved after "carriages":

  • V&SAR carriages of The Overland.

Any thoughts, people? SCHolar44 (talk) 13:42, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer "V&SAR Overland carriages".
These are a distinct class of carriages, not a list of all carriages used on The Overland. Just as V&SAR Intercolonial Express Carriages are a distinct class (which are also technically V&SAR carriages of The Overland - This may then get very confusing). --ThylacineHunter (talk) 16:16, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
