Just curious really, is there any difference between a train station and a railway station? Or is it just someone being pedantic? Please can anyone help? Thanks in anticipation.

I would have said railway station is the american version of the UK train station.

Catron

No difference whatsoever in my book.

I have lived in GB all my life and have always referred to them as railway stations, as have most of my contemporaries. Train station is a new term, only seems to have been in use for the last 10 or so years. All the Americans I know refer to railroad stations or railroad depots.

Train is easier and shorter to spell than railway......

DaisyMae

Go by bus terambulan - shorter still. :)

I never say "railway", only train. Any other Americans? I would imagine it is a regional term here too.

Question Author

This all came about when someone complained about an item on the local News programme. They objected to the reporter referring to Lincolns "Train Station" stating that Lincoln has a railway station. Interesting to see some of you feel "railway" is an Americanism. Thanks to all of you for your opinions

All my life I have used the term railway station. The term train station grates on my ears and I regard it as a foreign expression, probably American.
