The distinction between the two seems have become blurred from about the1970’s- 1980’s and has now become official. The same period has seen many use Train Station instead of Railway Station.,neither are wrong it is just the way* our language evolves . I spent 15+ years working for British Rail, not British Trains. It will always be a railway station as far as I'm concerned. You can call it what you like. But "railway station" aka "train station" is a concept independent of which country you are in or which organisation runs it or used to run it. -- Basil Jet recently enjoyed listening to Department Of Eagles - 2003 - The Whitey On The Moon UK LP |
