...and "orient" rather than "orientate".
Not so sure about that one.

"When he emerged from the train station, it took him a moment to orient
himself."

"When he emerged from the train station, it took him a moment to
orientate himself."

The first sounds better to me.

"Train station" is even worse.
I was interested in the announcment at Waterloo "this train terminates
here". It would have been interesting if it hadn't.



It would be interesting if it did.... BANG no more train.

In fact the train LINE and the train SERVICE terminates at Waterloo. The
train does not.
