I reckon train station v railway station is a bit of an age thing. Those of us long accustomed to or finding pleasure in travelling by train tend to call it a railway station. Those more accustomed to road transport and the bus tend to call it a train station. Train station grates with me and sounds very functional. Railway station has more dignity and suggests something more special. However there is more logic to train station. One goes to a bus station to board a bus, therefore logically one boards a train at a train station - I don't think one boards a railway. However, I shall always prefer railway station and if someone merely asks for directions to the station, they shall be directed by me to the railway station and it will never occur to me that they might want directed to a bus station.
I must go now as wish to listen to some music, which I enjoy on both my wireless and my gramophone!
