  1. Thankfully no use of the hideous term “Train Station” in that BBC archive film despite the YouTube title which was presumably added by some bright young thing at the Beeb. I’d expected it to reveal a scandalous waste of public money keeping a station open despite there being no trains serving it; in practice it was just an interesting bit of nostalgia to lighten the mood in Nationwide, someone living in a former station really not being that unusual in 1976!

  2. @Andrew S. The idea that the term “train station” could be considered hideous is simply hilarious.
