Andy, don't be disappointed with me, one of my school teachers said he was disappointed with me but to be honest I was disappointed in his teaching skills!!
Train station might be a modern fad to some but not to me or many folks I know and I suspect thousands or maybe millions of others, you can call a railway station a train station just as you can call a railway a railroad or a circuit diagram a schematic.
My Dad called the railway a railroad, eg:
"Aye, any road....he worked down on (t')railroad"
Having said that he mixed with and fought along with the Yanks at Omaha Beach during WW2.
Each to their own I guess.
