train stations instead of railway stations

'Train station' drives me mad. However, we seem to accept 'bus
station' (a place where buses stand still for longish periods). You
could argue that rails ALWAYS stand still, no matter where they are.

Why? a station is a place where things are to be found. As in work
staion, play station.

Which is exactly the point was making. "Station" is from yer Latin,
innit - from memory Sto Stare Stedi Statum (or sumfink like that - it's
been over 60 years).

Nevertheless, I hate 'train station'. It appears that even the Americans
sometimes say 'railway station'.
