Can some one tell me when the term " train station " began to be used ?All my life I and every one I knew spoke of " railway stations " yet over the last few months I've heard the BBC journalists particularly talk about " train stations " .When was " train station " first used ?

I've found these pictures of the station but they've really confused me! The Sandoz building is clearly visible on the colour one, but I can't work out wear the cooling tower style structure was. ie as far as i can work out, thats just fields now and the river must also be in that vicinity.The station building on the right is obviously what was the Stanhope pub and then Paris restaurant, but the buildings on the bridge are also confusing--I can't work out where they would be on the current bridge so am guessing that's a new structure?I'll post this on the Transport thread as well as we may get more answers there...

Sorry just realised--wrong station!! You wanted Newlay, and this is Rodley/Calverley. Interesting pictures anyway...

Bramley13 - wash your mouth out, bow your head, and be ashamed LOLIts never been a Deltic, it is what is generically known as a Peak.Although to be honest, and a puritan - its not a real peak, just a pretender.Peaks were class 44 or a Derby type four, the loco pictured is a class 45, or also known as a Sulzer type 4.Further to these two was the class 46, which was a late follow on from the 45, but electric heat only as opposed to duel heat.The grills distinguish the difference between the 45 and the 46, but I am in danger now of needing to don my anorak LOL.Deltic - NEVER mate.

I've never heard the term " train station " used until I began to hear it on the BBC over the last eighteen months or so .So far as I can remember everybody I've known has talked about " railway stations " and certainly not " train stations " .Am I wrong ?
