"Cassio Metro" - the new group of buildings next to Watford Met
It just seemed to me that the developers who are building these buildings wouldn't mind a train station right next door... Nor even a railway station. :-) OOPS! /me must remember the distinction next time. There's a difference? |

There is no difference between a railway station and a train station, but some people in Britain prefer the former. The BBC seem to prefer the latter, because BBC journos can occasionally be heard saying "a railway sta- er, a train station" -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

Is there a reason why tube trains aren't "actual trains"? More importantly, is there any reason why the subsurface trains that serve Watford Met. aren't "actual trains"? |

When I was a child it puzzled me greatly that the Newsroom Southeast travel news always talked about trains and then the tube as if the tube wasn't a railway with trains running on it. -- message by Robin May, but I would say that, wouldn't I?
