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"? ;)

It now says Entries rather than Enteries. But I'm not changing the train part :wink:
