I think 'train station' is a corrrect terminology, that is, it's a
station
where trains are accessed, like a police station is where the police can
be contacted. 'Railway' is irrelevant because you can't access a railway
without a train
And, indeed, the railway itself is stationary wherever you encounter it.
Unless it's on a ferry, of course.
But there would be only rails on a ferry, and not a way; by the same token,
a tarmacced car parking space is not a road.
