Â*Train station is an Americanism. Next you'll be wanting me to drop

Actually train station appears to be a tabloidism, railroad stations
and/or depots seem to be the preferred nomenclature across the pond.
Indeed. It's a British thing, falling into step (oops, I nearly said 'in

Hence the saying, bus stations are where buses stop, train stations are
where trains stop, work stations…
