The fact the thread title misspells 'entries' and doesn't refer to railway stations properly is really putting me off entering. :/

You mean "train station" should be "railway station", right?

In that case, why aren't "bus stations" and "coach stations" called "road stations"? ;)

Does one go to a fire station to catch alight?

As long as they leave that one escalator to walk up... it makes a lot of sense.
