Railway station

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

A railway station (also called a depot, train station, railroad station, or just rail station) is a place where trains stop on a railway for people to get on and off, and/or freight to be loaded and unloaded.

People often just say "the Station" when they mean the railway station. They do not mean the bus station.

The station at the start or the end of the railway track is sometimes called the terminus. Terminus is a Latin word that means "the end".

The busiest railway station in the world is Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, Japan. The largest station is Nagoya Station in Nagoya, Japan. The busiest station in Europe is Clapham Junction near London in the United Kingdom.
