What started this ridiculous craze for saying "train station" instead of "railway station"?

The expression "train station" is so infantile that I didn't even use it in 1966 (the year I started primary school), yet it is even being used by railwaymen this year. Why do you think that is?

Probably on the lines of bus station, mostly called bus stop and not busways but I know, the reason sounds lame.

I don't even know where is the saying 'train station' used in the present.

@Lyfis2live We've always said "bus station", but not "train station" during my younger days.
