It will always be a railway station as far as I'm concerned. If you'd spent fifteen years working for National Express or Green Line, what would you call a coach station? I did spend 15 years working for National Express actually, funny you should say that. After I left the railways I moved sideways. The National Express HQ is, believe it or not, based at Digbeth *Coach* Station in Birmingham. Why is that in any way surprising? Given that some people here seem to think it's surprising to call buses buses and coaches coaches it seemed possible. A lot of people seem to want to call coach stations bus stations as well. Don't know about elsewhere but Barton Busses in Nottingham(shire) traditionally ran a fleet of what I would call coaches on their the single decker routes made getting on and off a full bus rather slow tim -- Ria in Aberdeen [Send address is invalid, use sipsoup at gmail dot com to reply direct] |
