Re: Rare Enteries XVI - Train Stations
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?tractakid wrote:The fact the thread title misspells 'entries' and doesn't refer to railway stations properly is really putting me off entering. :/
In that case, why aren't "bus stations" and "coach stations" called "road stations"?

Allow me to stir further... I'm guessing you're the sort of person who objects (vehemently) to the no-walking-escalator experiments at Holborn.tractakid wrote:Does one go to a fire station to catch alight?michael_churchill wrote:You mean "train station" should be "railway station", right?tractakid wrote:The fact the thread title misspells 'entries' and doesn't refer to railway stations properly is really putting me off entering. :/

As long as they leave that one escalator to walk up... it makes a lot of sense.michael_churchill wrote: Allow me to stir further... I'm guessing you're the sort of person who objects (vehemently) to the no-walking-escalator experiments at Holborn.
