No trains from Costa, you have to be at the Railway station to catch a train.
No such thing as a train station, sorry to be a know it all.
Given you’re old mate according to your name, I’ll allow you to be a know it all in the past. Train station is common parlance these days.
It's still lazy use of language.
Why ?
A railway is the track & surrounding infrastructure, a train is what runs on the tracks. It was a railway station first. I don't make the rules of English grammar, I just blindly follow them. I punctuate text messages fully and spell gaol as gaol not flipping jail.

Sneag wrote:Where do you get a bus from? Surely it is from a bus station and not a road station! How about a tram? A railway station or tram station are both correct usage.
The English language is fluid and both railway station and train station are also correct. Train station is probably more accurate for a single purpose property.
