Wait, British people don't say "train station"?

  We do. All the time. It's written on the signs and everything. It is a well-worn running joke in the UK that the people who write in to the BBC are all eye-rollingly insane. I wouldn't take the list too seriously.

    This is still pretty depressing coming from the BBC, even when you ignore the comments.

    Whew. I was afraid the proper term was something like "locomotive concordry" and I'd been out of the loop all this time.

  how does this make people mad? 22. Train station. My teeth are on edge every time I hear it. Who started it? Have they been punished? Chris Capewell, Queens Park, London i mean, it's a station, for trains, hence train station. i don't get why this makes him angry.
